Sorry, but I'm going to be stubborn on this one. I abhor short (often
cryptic) filenames. In the NQC source tree, almost every class is in its
own file, which is of course named after the class. So in a sense,
truncating the filenames is more than just renaming files - it also either
requires classnames to be changed, or it breaks the class/filename
convention. I'm not happy with either alternative.
Is there seriously the need to be able to build NQC on an 8.3 system? I'm
not talking about running the executable - but actually performing the
build. If so, how well do those compilers handle long filenames in
#includes? Do they just look for the truncated name? If so, things may
work fine as is - offhand I don't think there are any collisions when
truncating to 8.3. Anyone tried this?
