SYMPTOMS
========

After you use Lfnbk.exe to back up long filenames, you may not see any scheduled
tasks in System Agent.

CAUSE
=====

When you restart your computer after running Lfnbk.exe to back up long
filenames, the path to the System Agent configuration file (Sage.dat) becomes
invalid. Lfnbk.exe renames the default folder from

  C:\Program Files\Plus!\System

to:

  C:\Progra~1\Plus!\System

System Agent cannot use the short filenames, and cannot locate the Sage.dat file.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, copy the Sage.dat file from the
Progra~1\Plus!\System folder to the root folder on drive C, and then restart
Windows 95.
