what's the work-a-round for file names not in the 8.3 format?

well...if you are under Windows-XP MS-DOS, then there is a feature that I think Microsoft got it's idea from Linux (as they were the first to use it), which is simply you type the first letter(s) and hit the tab button and let DOS complete the filename.extension for you...\n\nPS: If you have more than one file/folder starting with the letter, then type mor than 1 letter for filteration purposes to speed up the process of getting the desired file/folder name...\n\nPPS: You can hit the tab button to scroll through all the files/folders that have the same letter you typed...\n\n\nIf its not clear, run MS-Dos in Windows XP and try it our for yourself...\n\nHope that helps...

Re-Download it as the correct file type?\nTry changing the files properties with regard to what it opens with?\n\nThats all I can come up with! =(

just get to file in your command prompt and rename\n\nex.if ur filenmae f1.ex1 you can type\n\nren f2.ex2 where f2 and e2 are new filename and extensions respectively,you can use the old ones also.

Huh.  I never thought about it, but it looks like you're right. \n\nWell, I suppose you can always do a cp filename filename1 then do a gzip if you want to keep the original.

I think you should convert them into rm.\n\ncheck these sites for "RM Converter"

I could, but you are going to have to be more specific.  What kind of files?  Most of the time you can copy/paste.

Here's the command I use:\n\nNewFileName = "My_File_" & Replace (Str (Format(Now, "yyyymmddhhmmss")), " ", "")\n\nI have it formatted down to hours, minutes and seconds.  I do this so that I can save the file as often as I want and get a new file name every time.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nRegards,\nQwertyKPH @ Yahoo!

If you don't have Microsoft Publisher then your really stuck.\n\nYour only other option is to have the creator of the file reformat it for you.\n\nThis article will explain how they can do that.\n\nhttp://desktoppub.about.com/cs/publisher/f/share_pubfiles.htm

Try using the FORMAT command. The Syntax may vary depending on your version of Windows.\n\nIt should be: FORMAT X: /FS:FAT\n\nWhere X: is the drive letter assigned to your card.

Best bet is to use \n\nbc filename >outfile\n\nIt won't give you exactly what you want but will be close
