MacNames helps Windows-Macintosh cross-platform integration. It is an NT utility which is able to rename automatically Macintosh files stored on a Windows NT Server, removing illegal characters and adding filenames extensions; then Windows can identify the appropriate applications associated with renamed files.

MacNames is probably the only Windows NT software dedicated to rename Macintosh files stored on an NT Server. Benefits are obvious: renaming process is on a Server instead on a Macintosh Workstation, no network overhead, check continuously predefined folders, can be installed as a Windows NT Service, correspondance table Signatures (Type/Creator) / Extensions easily editable, can truncate filenames longer than 31 characters, allowing to view these files from Macintosh more friendly than DOS shortnames (8+3).
