VERY long names in whd update packs...
KG, you emulation sell-out!!!
extra long filenames like: "DragonsLair&EscapeFromSingesCastle_v1.2a_Fast_1360&0980.zip " don't work on amigas without some replacement FileSystem! using standar 3.9 here and the names just truncate and I am asked several times to replace, because the files already exist.... |

Just rename it then.
I've ensured that all folders within the zips are fine on the amiga as this was important to allow all icons to remain in their correct places once snapshotted. But as for the zip names, I found it more important to give a full description as to what was in the zip rather than truncate that as well. And besides.. how many games have this problem? 1, possibly 2? |

I don't remember having any problem with ClassicWB.
You're using some crapy OS? |

if you tried to transfer the original .zips you would have Anubis, because some exceed the 32 characters limit... plus I think you are an emulation whore.

Hmm..
Come to think of it I use ClassicWB and I've had no problems... I do use SFS though so maybe that's the difference? or maybe it's your unarc program? This is all guesswork, I'll have a look some night this week |

How do you know?
I would like to emulate amiga, but can't find some files kick-something. Do I need that to run this WinUAE thingy? |

Don't be so fanatic with your real amiga, keropi. Uncompress the zips in WinUAE or Windows. Never had problems with this stuff.

Use SFS or PFS3. I only use FFS on my system partition.
