It seems to me that a long while ago, I was able to read a Rockridge CD on
Windoze. And that was Win'95. I was just curious, so I tried it. I could
be mistaken about that.

ROTFL. Dream on Alice. ;-)

You youngsters don't know how good you have it. I've worked on systems
where the filename limit was 6.3 -- it didn't seem all that bad, when it
was the only thing you'd ever had available. Oh, and you were restricted
to uppercase letters and digits (other than the dot seperator).
