I'm sure there is a practical limit but I've never run up against it personally. File name length is a matter of media formatting, not the underlying operating system.

All have different length limits. What may be of more importance is some formats may not be readable by all operating systems. This is an extension that allows more file flexibility than standard ISO9660 does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Ridge I hope some of this information helps. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
