Stuffit Expander truncates filenames

           Summary: Stuffit Expander truncates filenames
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.1.0
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The default behaviour of downloading .tar.gz, .tgz, and .tar files in OS X using
Explorer or Netscape (though netscape does give the option to save instead) is
to have stuffit expander run and decompress the files into a directory.

Stuffit Expander will truncate filenames that are too long... I believe it's 32
characters.  Running a straight runConfigure and then make will break because
filenames will be invalid.

downloading the file and expanding it via tar -xzf does not truncate filenames.
 My build ran to completion using the runConfigure options: -pmacosx -rnone -P
/usr/local/xerces

I don't know if this has been reported, a search of the database for the word
"stuffit" returned nothing.  There probably should be some kind of notification
in the documentation for MacOS or the download page to avoid using the stuffit
expander program to decompress the tar.gz files.

This occurs on 10.1.5, I don't have 10.2 (Jaguar) yet.
