LatexBard : I think some one got confused about your question. Poser has a limmit on how long a file name can be. I think its a left over from the original poser 1 being a MAC program or in some way it has to do with that. To fix it you have to shorten the name. I dont remember how many it is but its easy to figure out. So yes it a matter of not handleing long file names .
