Is unicode a requirement for file names longer than 31 
characters ? (No one answered a question I had last week 
about file name lengths in another Mac OS X thread....) 

While I personally don't have a current need for such 
things.... the filename length issue is something 
I tripped over last week+ when playing with Squeak Alice
(A number of the example Alice Actors have file names
longer than 31 characters...)
