According to hkb83 on 1/31/2008 6:38 AM:
| Hi,
| I have found the limitation of windows as 259 filepath and 247 directory
| path on Win XP and Win server 2003.

Yes, those would be the pathetically low Windows limits when using ASCII
api's.

|
| I have another query , To which windows command are fchdir() calls
| translated to by cygwin and does cygwin support such call translations on
| Win XP.

Why don't you read the source code and find out for yourself?  Also, you
could use strace to find out.
