16 chars for the file _name_... (remember that a complete file"spec" is like
"[Driveletter]:[Name],[Type],[RW]")
afaik the only reason for the 16 chars limit is the limited space in
directory, that is all the kernal- (and drive-) routines would probably work
with longer names. just for actual directory-access the filename will be
truncated to 16 chars by the drive.
