This program uses the "fopen" statement to open a file for writing. I supplied a long filename, "Field-Definition.txt". This program worked fine when it ran under the Rhide program. But when the compiled EXE program ran by itself, the filename was cut short to eight characters. Is this a bug? Why does this happen?
