I don't know. I can't imagine anyone cares whether there's both a long name 
and a short name in the directories at this point. Disk space just isn't 
that dear. :-)

For the Windows stuff, I'd guess it's at least "ain't broke don't fix it". 
But anything written in the last 8 years or so should get over themselves. 
Certainly anything that won't run on Win98 shouldn't be using short names 
liek that.

   I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".
