Hello Deon!

I am testing a fix for this problem now.  I also am allowing it to handle 
incoming .TICs with long filenames (over 8 characters for the filename 
portion.)  Mystic creates these when hatching a file with a long filename.

"Allow Non

The intention when the standard was written was to specify a DOS compatible 
8.3 filename for .TIC files.  At the time, all known implementations did it 
that way.

 DG> What do you think?

I don't see the need to enable or disable this on a per-node basis.  Since 
MBSE will never create these non-compliant .TIC files, it just needs to handle 
them properly when receiving them.
