Loading OS2.nam is the first step, the second is 'add os2 name space to 
volume' where volume is replaced by the name of the volume that requires the 
long name capability. From NW 3.x to 4.10 this was still called OS2 name 
space, in NW 4.11 it has changed to Long name space.
There will be a space penalty on the volume when OS2 name space is used. We 
found it to be about 8.5 Mbyte on a 4Gbute volume.

        Richard.
