It seems that Eli has a program to check the 8.3 validity of filenames. Still "idlw-complete-structtag.el" is not ok with my understanding of a readable file name. > And, I remember that there were another filename restriction > which limits the total length to 14 (or so) characters for > some other system. Does anyone remember the detail? The corresponding advice is still in the Elisp manual.
