The overall length of the name is not as important as the file extension.  If
you don't add it when moving from the hard drive to the zip, your windows
machine will not recognize the file.  You will have to use the rename option
with the right mouse button to correct the problem by adding the extension.

If you are going to do very much cross platform work, then you may want to
change the save prefs in the Mac PhotoShop to automatically append the file
extension when you save.  It doesn't interfere with Mac files at all.  The
only change is that you can tell by a glance at the slug whether it's a JPEG
or a tiff.
