Groklaw already have comments on long names for file systems with short names giving an example from 1985 (and a couple of DOS related examples predating the patent), one can only assume Microsoft want a jury trial to increase the expense, and increase the chance of the jury coming up with the wrong answer. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
