Long filenames for dbf-files

No more limitation in naming the dbf-files. Is it correct?

use (cdatawin+"marketingliste") new
select marketingliste

Beware - using Advantage Server RDD, alias names cannot be any length, so you may need to specify a shorter alias name thasn the file name

My TData database class automatically handle alias names and they are only 5 characters long. You never have to deal with aliases again.
