    Ok since no one has heard this before so I will tell you then.

    where do you get the idea that no one has heard of LFN before?

    LFN=Long File Names.

    are you sure it isn't one of the following?

    Logical Fallacy Noted
    La Femme Nikita
    Looking for Now
    Longitudinal File Name
    Low Frequency Noise
    Logical File Name
    Long Fat Network
    Lincoln Financial Network
    Linder Farm Network
    Lead Flat Nose
    Local Fixed Node
    Libraries For Nursing
    Latvian Fund for Nature

    It's not that no one has heard that before. Everyone here knows
    what LFN means, and the current status of that in Synchronet,
    because it's been asked before, and answered. Therefore, nobody
    wants to answer your redundant question.

    In addition, it's documented right here:

    Does Synchronet BBS support the LFN feature yet?

    There's probably not a whole lot to say about it other than what Digital Man already said in his reply to you. Synchronet supports long filenames on Windows only.

    But when I typed in long file name in the wiki search nothing showed up.

    i got several results for that "long file names" search term but i did add an 's' to "name"... however, the FAQ has this section...

    http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:files#long_filenames

    note that the proper term is "filenames" as one word instead of two...

    Sounds like what happens on several ham radio traffic nets I'm part
    of. When one notes what he's cooking for dinner, another replies "What's
    your address?? I'll be right over". <G>
