A. Long file names were added to version 6.03. Please contact Surfer Technical Support by e-mail with your Surfer 6 serial number for update information. (You may also contact us by telephone, fax, or regular mail.) Q6. When in My Computer or Explorer and I click on a filename with the SRF extension and there are spaces in the directory or filename, Surfer cannot find the file. Is there a way to add this capability to Surfer? A. In Win95/98 and NT, open the file surfer32.reg in a text editor and change the following lines: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Surfer\shell\print\command = C:\SURFER6\surfer32.exe /p “%1” HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Surfer\shell\open\command = C:\SURFER6\surfer32.exe “%1” to add quotes around the “%1” at the end of each line. Your path for the surfer32.exe file may be different than the default path shown above. Save the changes, then double-click on the surfer32.reg file in Windows Explorer to add the changes to the Windows Registry. (Note: Windows 3.1 does not support long file nam
