It's in AT&T System V Release 4 - meaning it's in the base V.4 code, not just intel's. Long names are supported only in a "ufs" file system. (ufs is the V.4 name for the Berkeley style fs.) Names are still limited to 14 characters in s5 (System V compatible) file systems in V.4. >...- but the manuals don't mention how long is long... Limit is 255 bytes, empirically. -- Dick Dunn rcd@ico.isc.com -or- ico!rcd Boulder, CO (303)449-2870 ...but Meatball doesn't work that way!
