So the following filenames could represent a different filename:<br /> gyrbo<br /> Gyrbo<br /> GYrbo<br /> GYRbo<br /> GYRBo<br /> GYRBO<br /> gYrbo<br /> gYRbo<br /> gYRBo<br /> gYRBO<br /> gyRbo<br /> gyRBo<br /> gyRBO</p> <p>and so on. So in Windows if you wanted to name a file Gyrbo, you would have only one Choice. In 'nix, you would have a lot more possibilties.</p> Fri, 13 Jul 2001 21:37:11 +0000 mairving comment 1085256 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/max-characters#comment-1085254 <p>And what about linux/unix/*bsd?</p> Fri, 13 Jul 2001 20:12:56 +0000 Gyrbo comment 1085254 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/max-characters#comment-1085225 <p>For win98, the file's full pathname--the drive, folder, and filename--can't exceed 253 characters.</p> <p>source: <em>Unauthorized Guide to Win98</em> --Paul McFedries</p> <p>--Papa</p> Fri, 13 Jul 2001 14:20:26 +0000 PaPa comment 1085225 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/max-characters#comment-1085220 <p>Win 95<br /> Win 98<br /> Win 2000<br /> unix / linux</p> Fri, 13 Jul 2001 09:48:35 +0000 Jack Michaelson comment 1085220 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/max-characters#comment-1085217 <p>For what OS?</p> <p>DOS was 8.3</p> Fri, 13 Jul 2001 09:35:13 +0000 Mark Hensler comment 1085217 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
