You can create a ticket at https://sourceforge.net/p/mbsebbs/tickets/ with 
your report.  This will help us track the reported issues.

I do see that there are situations where the current setup can cause problems. 
Michiel Broek originally designed mbfido's .TIC processing to work with 8.3 
DOS style filenames.  I need to do some thinking about a way to create 8.3 DOS 
filenames from incoming long filenames, without breaking existing setups.

The safest way to avoid problems is to store a long filename archive in a .ZIP 
file with an 8.3 name and then hatch that.
