Hi Earnie,

Why should it?

ISO C has FILENAME_MAX in <stdio.h>, which is set to 1024 in my
version of Cygwin.  POSIX has PATH_MAX in <limits.h> which is set to
259 here.  And than there is pathconf() in <unistd.h> for the real
POSIX fans.

MAX_PATH OTOH seems to be an MS Windows invention and is not in any
standard, or is it?


so long, benny
