SUMMARY

When you upgrade from SourceSafe 3.x to Visual SourceSafe 4.0, all of the 8.3 files that were in mixed case are now in upper case. The case of long file names are preserved.

MORE INFORMATION

If you noticed this change right after the upgrade, then running the 32-bit Ddconv.exe utility dated 1/9/96 or later may resolve the problem. The Ddconv.exe utility is available from most Microsoft download sites. It is included with the Analyze.exe utility.

If you noticed this change some time after the upgrade, the newer Ddconv.exe may or may not work. If it does not work, the only option is to rename the files in Visual SourceSafe. To do this, access the File Menu and choose the Rename... option.
