1: Thankyou, Hephaestos, that most recent change (restoring the Win 3.x I deleted, but without the implication that it is an operating system) is an improvement.

2: The article currently says 32-bit Windows operating systems include a patch at the interface level which simulates a limit of 256 characters; at the system level, the three-character limitation remains, albeit invisible to most users. This is certainly how VFAT and FAT32 work, but unless my memory is playing me false, NTFS uses "real" long filenames. Someone want to double check me before I make the change? Tannin
