- rbanffy 16y agoThat would be DOS 3.x. You could specify a file under (Apple's) DOS with "long_filename,S6,D1". File names could have up to 33 chars and had type information (one byte) so as not to rely on naming conventions.
- camiller 16y agoLong file names were under Apple ProDOS Apple DOS was still 8.3 (I think).
- rbanffy 16y agoNo. Apple DOS filenames were limited to 30 chars. ProDOS was limited at 15 chars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_DOS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_DOS My 33 figure was wrong (either me or Wikipedia). Maybe the directory entry had 33 bytes (30 for the file name, 1 for type, and two for track and sector)
