Uwe, I think the issues on WebTen are more than simply long 
filenames, but rather that the FrontPage Extensions are not supported 
on WebTen. We worked very hard to get Microsoft to make their 
FrontPage Server Extensions available for the WebTen environment.  It 
would have simply been a recompile for them, since they have 
UNIX/Apache sources.  They did not see the Mac server market as 
something big enough for them to care about.  So, unfortunately, even 
though there are no technical issues, the FrontPage Server Extensions 
are not available for WebTen.

Now with Mac OS X Server here, Microsoft may be more inclined to 
offer FrontPage Extensions for that platform.  This is no longer a 
Tenon issue, but would be something for others, including Apple, to 
pursue.
