*"Since module names are mapped to file names, and some file systems are case insensitive and truncate long names, it is important that module names be chosen to be fairly short -- this won't be a problem on Unix, but it may be a problem when the code is transported to older Mac or Windows versions, or DOS."* There haven't been computers with less than 80 character file or path name element length limits in wide use in decades... ;) -gps
