8.1 Long file names in Windows

VCG only uses the old MS-DOS "8+3" file names. If, for example, your top-level file is called LONG_MODULE_NAME.rsl then rsltc will save the vcg input file as LONG_MODULE_NAME.vcg. But when the VCG tool is started it will display the error message "Cannot load file LONG_MODULE_NAME.vcg". This is easy to circumvent: use the Load file command in the File menu and you will see a file name like LONG_M~1.vcg, which you can select. This should be the one you need. If you have created several module dependency graphs in the same folder with module names with the same first 5 characters, the results will only differ in the final digit in the VCG menu.
