And sorry to reply to myself... Could people using older operating systems
test this?
I’m happy to maintain the status quo if there are problems but if no-one
finds problems then I think we make the majority suffer for something that
isn’t really a problem.

Well, I made a small program in Delphi 7 that lists the command line
parameters, drag and dropped a file named “LongFileName.dat” in it, and here
is the surprising result: http://web.telia.com/~u66203131/pix/ShowParms.jpg
(Running on a Win98SE PC.)
So I think long file names still has the potential to cause problems. That
is, if I’m not guilty of bad programming in this test.
It would be interesting if someone could voulenteer to try the result on an
XP machine. Here’s my test program:

Well, apart from mis-spelling “Parameters” :)
Here’s the
output on XP.
