I am reminded of an old joke: Windows 95 now supports long filena~1

  In Win32, a funny trick I found to get around the path limit was to use subst [1]. You could subst a long path to a drive letter and continue adding directories from there. No one directory could exceed the limit, but it made accessing the path nearly impossible, without setting up the subst first. None of the virus scanners I tried were able to access that deep or flag the bad things I tried putting there.
