I don't see that s5.3's 14 character filename limit is any big deal.  Isn't
it just a #define DIRNAMESIZE 14 in some header somewhere?



ATT has just announced 5.4, which is the Sun/ATT Berkeley/ATT hybrid,
I believe.  I imagine by the time Amiga gets Unix going, they'll be going
for 5.4.  It's probably mostly a religious issue anyway.  At UseNix I've
seen Berkeley and ATT gurus sit up there on panel discussions and repeatedly
say that *they* cannot see any really big differences, and they wish the
*users* would calm down.
