OK; I think (hope?) I have all the major info on this issue in the latest 3.5
FAQ that I just uploaded.
It's too bad that Workbench/FFS & AmigaDOS/dos.library remain inconsistent
regarding long filenames. Although I could imagine that were Workbench to gain
support for 100 characters, icon names might need line-wrapping routines, etc.
Any possibility in this regard for BB2?
