Quicken 98 - limited to 8.3 naming

OK, it's old, but it still works for me - it is perfectly happy under XP.

But today I tried to create a new set of accounts using Quicken 98  and hit the error message "could not create main file".

It eventually dawned on me - Quicken 98 can only cope with file names of up to 8 characters. A shame it couldn't have offered a more useful error message.
