Okay, it's time to ask again: do we still need to enforce the 31-character limit on filenames? AFAIK, we have this for MacOS 9, only. Is that platform still significant for Boost users?
I would not complain if that limit were abandoned, but I would make sure that the oldest supported version of CW handles #includes of long filenames before proceeding.
As I recall this is also the longest filename allowed on iso formatted cd-rom -- so if you want a non-zipped version of boost on cd it might be problem with longer filenames. Jeff
