programs that don't handle long file names
One of the best bloggers in the company, with really deep knowledge of the OS and obscure issues that most developers wouldnt even think of, talked in a recent blog on how wven in the enlightened year of 2005, we have programs that don't handle long file names.

In my main system, we have a tool that has this same problem too. The mitigating factor is that this tool was untouched since 1997. The other question would be why we are still using such an old tool.

Well.. it works. Much better. 8)
