subject: Long file name support?

Hi folks,

I'm in the midst of setting up Bink/Squish/Seal/Max on an OS/2 platform and
have a question about long file names for Squish message areas.  According to
the Squish docs, the root file name for a Squish-style message area must be 8
characters or less, but in SEAL.INI (according to Seal v.50's docs) if
"LongNames" is enabled, then Seal will set up root files with names greater
than 8 characters.  In fact, a Squish-format message area is shown as an
example (p. 19).  So, before I go and start trimming down a long list of area
names when I may not need to, I thought I'd ask about it here.  Anybody know
about this for sure?

Thanks,

Mike
