Re: 80-character filename limit

Jack,

I discussed this with Dave Brown and he quickly traced
the problem to the line:

#define MAX_FILE_LEN 80

in s_gesc.c in the awiC directory. This has been changed to:

#define MAX_FILE_LEN 256

to be compatible with the limit defined in gesc.f that has
been in effect since April of 1994.

Can you imagine ever needing more than a length of 256
characters?

Thanks for bringing this up.
