Win32 Applications Don't Support Some Macintosh Filenames (108057)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1

This article was previously published under Q108057 SYMPTOMS
Some filenames created on a Macintosh computer are incompatible with Win32
application programming interfaces (APIs). These filenames include spaces
or are very long (256 or more characters). NTFS supports these file names,
but all Win32 applications do not. Because of this, unexpected results can
occur when performing file operations on these files.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For
