SYMPTOMS
Windows NT PIF Editor can't save long filenames or use names with
spaces.
CAUSE
PIF Editor is a 32-bit application and should therefore be able to
deal with long filenames or a space in a filename. However, since PIF
Editor is dedicated to Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) support, it is
limited (by design) to the eight-character filename, three character
extension (8.3) convention.
