Hi Eric,

Big time saver. Thank you.

Everything looked great. 

So, I updated the version on Gitlab. 

It will be in the next Interim Test Build.

No problem. :-)

It is something that happens automatically. 

Before the RBE compresses the packages for inclusion on the media, it scans for 
files that do not conform to the 8.3 filename convention. If it finds any it 
moves them into a LFNFILES.ZIP under the root subdirectory of that file for the 
package. In other words, if it was somewhere under 
NET\CURL\SOMETHING\SOMETHING\LONGNAME.FILE it will be put into 
NET\CURL\LFNFILES.ZIP. Same goes for other paths for the program.

Sources is a little different. We just compress them regardless anymore. The 
exception being when specific criteria is met. Like one a simple README.TXT 
file under sources.

Sounds good.

That is fine. 

Once anything requiring LFNs has been zipped up, the RBE forces DOS filenames 
on the main archive as well.

I took the easy way. 

Downloaded and extracted your zip.
Deleted everything in the local cloned copy of the project. 
Dropped your files in that project.
Added all of the files to the project.
Ran the timestamp correction utility and pushed it to GitLab.

All done. Quick and painless. Thanks.

Jerome
