SYMPTOMS
========

An attempt to use a makefile that uses the long filenames available in OS/2 or
Windows NT fails and NMAKE generates the following message:

  U4007: file name too long: truncating to 8.3

RESOLUTION
==========

Place quotation marks around the long filenames.

STATUS
======

NMAKE 1.5 (included in Visual C++ 2.0) will handle long filenames.
