This is already in place in system 8.x On floppy, zip and other
removeable disks, long filenames are supported, up to the 31 character
limt of the Finder. When system 8.0 was released Apple stated that a
fuuture version of the Finder was going to be Unicode compliant, meaning
256 character filenames, and a wider copatibility between PC and Mac
TrueType fonts. As this implies a Finder re-write, I suspect this is
something that OSX is going to support. OSX Server should,as rhapsody
was already Unicode for filenames.
