    Hector (or anybody):

    Just trying out the new version you posted for us to try out. It seems
    we are still unable to download files over the 8.3 name limit.

    I have tried several files and if they have the ~ in the name I get
    "File not found"

    Also, I found that when you use the wizard to start the file transfers,
    it does not like the trailing \ at the end. I had to remove it from the directory name.

    WCNAV never allowed LFN and its 16 bit so it will never support LFN until it is updated to a 32 bit system and thats going to be a while.
