From: Tony Li <Tli@Usc-Eclb> Thanks to David Kashtan, we have a patch for ISI Interlisp. A copy is in the file USC-ECLC::<TLI>ILISP.JNL, available for anonymous FTP. ;-)

From: Raymond Bates <RBATES@ISIB> This patch will not quite work. A version 3 only Interlisp makes an assumptions (in both C and Interlisp) that files names and directory names are short. Interlisp scans an entire directory just to see if an file exists. The worst thing that might happen is that Interlisp would overwrite some memory because it passed a "short" string down to C and C wrote a "long" string. This could mess up quite a few things. The best one could hope for is that Interlisp would ignore files or directories that were "long". /Ray
