As far as I know, they should be compatible with Ldraw, which means compatible
with DOS or more preciselly filenames must have a name like "8.3" ie, 8
characters for name, and 3 for the extension. Besides this, you can also use
regular DOS paths prepended to the filename.
ex:
project\hello\..\extra\filename.dat

It should be or else it would be incoeerent, since inside MPDs reside dumps of
DAT files, which when extracted should be compatible with Ldraw.
See ya
P.S.
Backwards compatibility, is a great feature, but it also is (most of the time)
a limiting factor for improvements (in this case supporting long filenames).
Well the World is Not perfect.
