Everything in your message sounded really great! I am sure that your stock in SFS will increase in value and you can soon retire a rich man.
But then I read this part:
Path Names Of Up To 255 Characters...
This sounds really terrible!
Why should pathnames be so short? :confused:
If a filename is 127 chars then that is half your path gone already!
Many music files have 127 char filenames. If you have some mp3s buried down several dirs deep then you can easily exceed this pathname limitation.
I actually exceeded the 255 char pathname limitation back around 1989 using only 31 char filenames! This particular pathname limitation was due to a bug in Intuitracker (a popular modplayer back in prehistoric times before
The Great Hippo came down from heaven and saved us all
Does PFS3 have this same limitation? I hope not!
And now, to show that I am almost half as smart as Piru
I shall point out that just because SFS "allows" 127 char filenames does not mean that anyone using AmigaOS 1.0 to 3.999 can actually
use 127 char filenames. AmigaOS(tm)(c)(p) has a built in limit of 107 chars.
Does the 107 char limit still exist in MOS, OS4 and AROS? I am willing to bet that the true answer is Yes.
