Actually I wasn't thinking about long filenames, just the slashes.
I can never remember which one is called backslash so I probably
wasn't all that clear. Maybe we should just *recommend* using the
DOS style slashes as the directory separator, especially for any
directories that start with <LDRAWDIR> because we know from the
part files that all programs (new or old) must be able to handle
the DOS \ path separator character.

I wouldn't bother. I bet there are plenty of filesystems where you
can create really weird filenames as long as you use a program instead
of the command line to do it. Once someone mentioned doing it that
way with DOS I remembered running into both UNIX and DOS filenames that
I had to build special programs to work with.
