To my understanding, 8.3 name restriction actually means that all filenames (in the same directory?) must be distinguished by the first 8 (or 7? 6?) characters. So, idlw-complete-structtag.el is ok unless there's another file that starts with "idlw-complete". Is it right? 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? --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
