<<Also remember that GNAT3.07 only recognizes the first 8 characters of
your filename.>>

This advice is incorrect, even for systems where file names are limited
to 8 characters (where if you think about it, it makes no sense). Please
consult the GNAT documentation for rules on naming files.

This is a good reminder of a fundamental principle when using the news'
groups. You cannot tell if advice you read is written by someone who
knows what they are talking about, or by someone who has very partial
knowledge and is misinterpreting what they understand. That doesn't mean
you should ignore advice you read here, just that you should be cautious!
