he he...no one's around so I'll help him!!!! *evil smile*
no seriously....don't worry about the truncated names. just try and name
them like it says in the docs. It will still work evern though they are
cut off. if that doesn't work, then install.2.x might be corrupted by
^M's due to mtools or ftp. Email me if you need more help.
