Re: pathname in 'load' command must be 31 characters or less

[Antonio Ceballos]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reporting this limitation. I checked that it is also a limitation in the current version 6.0.1, so I extended the maximum file name length to 127 characters and uploaded the change to the savannah svn repository. It will be included in the next release.

Cheers,

Antonio
