Long file names beyond 32 characters won't stay intact on the Mac. Unless
someone has found a magic way to this, it is supposedly impossible to create
hybrid CDs with long filenames (according to the people at Adaptec). For
cross platform use, best thing to do is make sure all filenames are no
longer than 32 characters total.

the MacOS ( version less than X) are restricted to 15 character volume names and
31 character file names. and may not include the ":" character, and should not
include the "/" (for reasons of UNIX(TM) compatability or the down-slash "\"
for the sake of the VMS(TM) and *-DOS systems) nor should they include any
character whose value is less than 0x20. There are also restrictions on how long
a total file name should be in macOS, sensably organised projects not run into
this (several thousand character?) limit.
