How do you get filenames longer than the default dir string slot? I noticed strings in workspace files names like /usr/people/dean/.workspace/_+usr_+people_+dean_+D.TableTop_+D.Skulls The base name part is longer than 18 or so characters that a unix dir string is allocated with. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | karron@nyu.edu Dan Karron | | . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

File names can be up to 255 characters long in EFS. Not 18. kipp hickman silicon graphics inc. Disclaimer - I speak for the whole company, since nobody else will.
