Hi,

Under Linux the maximum file length is 255 character. Gnome's Nautilus
allows that length. Any larger and Nautilus or a terminal command like
'cp' complains.

FindFile / FindNext however seems to have a 253 character limit!  Why
the difference when the OS can support up to 255 characters?


Regards,
