Well I think on some devices there was a limit of 8 or 12 characters for the .typ file. mkgmap definitely should not change the name if it is short enough. I found it confusing enough that it adds an x before the name if the FID is not adjusted instead of adjusting the FID of the original .typ file.

Hi,

in a private mail from Thomas Morgenstern I was informed that mkgmap may write invalid gmapi data if the typ file has a long name.
I can reproduce this problem with a single input file and our sample typ file like this
java -jar dist\mkgmap.jar --gmapi resources\typ-files\sameOrder.txt 63240001.o5m

The problem shows up in Mapsource which cannot create gmapsupp files for such a gmap file, it crashes instead

I guess mkgmap should use the same name for the gmapi format that is used for the gmapsupp.img, so SAMEORDE.TYP
Or maybe the family id should be used instead, e.g. 6324.TYP?
