From Palm OS Programmer’s Companion, Volume I page: 231Is there a limit how long a VSF path name can be? In the examples they use 255 which includes the full path name. In some other places it is implied that filenames can be up to 255. So what's the truth?
My guess is that full path names have no set limit although probably each individual directory name and file name must be <= 255.
The truth = ? /PaulN
"From an application developer’s standpoint, filenames can be up to 255 characters long and can include any normal character including spaces and lower case characters in any character set. They can also include the following special characters:
$ % ' - _ @ ~ ‘ ! ( ) ^ # & + , ; = [ ]"
So you will need 255 characters and the null/zero terminator (256 bytes altogether)
