We have been running ISODE 6.8 on our Suns for quite a while, and we recently purchased a 486 running SCO Open Desktop.  My problem is that when I try to untar the 6.8 tar file, many of the filenames are too long to be created (Open Desktop imposes a 14 character limitation on file names).  Has anyone worked around this problem before?
