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?
After reading the other posts, I sort of agree with 31 char limit. But, when archiving/backing up to CD, I always use a .zip or .tarball - so this wouldn't affect me at all. Do people back up boost "raw" files?
