Re: Cross platform problems

Paul,

I am wondering if file name length is an issue. If the Mac can handle 
31 characters and current Windows98 and 2000 handles 215 character 
file names, just use very descriptive names for the curve files. If 
there is someone out there on an older version of an OS or Photoshop 
couldn't they simply rename the files to be compatiable? As I recall 
earlier versions of Windows automatically renamed over long file 
names.

Anyone running Win 95 should be thinking upgrade.

Or is the name length of the curve, *.acv, files a Photoshop issue?
