I'm using CAB 2.7c maybe that is why it saves the hotlist
to the application directory and not to /home. I don't
really use the home directory properly in any case.

Even so, I don't feel that CAB should be using a long
filename on a Newfat partition without vfat.

Does CAB check the partition type in some way,
maybe this version doesn't check it properly.

I never bothered with version 2.8 as it was pricey for
what it offered. I'll be patient and wait for Highwire.
