Requiring there to be a maximum name length is the sign of an inexperienced programmer. It is a simple process to tag each symbol with its length and realloc() the block untill it is big enough for any symbol, as long as there is enough memory (DOS) or enough virtual memory (real opreating systems). If any compiler, assembler, linker house really don't understand how to do this, I will personally post an explanation, and an example. Please, NO ARBITRARY LIMITS! david.
