The Joliet Specification states:
"The File or Directory Identifiers may be up to 128 bytes (64 unicode
characters) in length."
I have never tested this limit, and I'm not sure if this should include any
version numbers.
I have no idea why Microsoft have this limit - I _think_ the ISO9660
directory structures will allow a filename to be up to about 200 characters
(100 Unicode characters).
I guess the only why to test this is to hack joliet.c and allow filenames
to be longer and see if the resulting CDs can be read on MS systems ...
