   title Important:
   Older versions of Spectrum will NOT import ORU or HL7 files that have file names over 9 Characters long. It does not have this problem with PIT files , so be sure to convert the files to PIT. The 9 Character limit also affects file paths. so if your results are in a folder called INCOMING RESULTS for example. It will not look in that path.
