Yes, that 8.3 restriction might be the worst that was ever made. But even unices of that time allowed only 14 character long filenames. I think you should not care about that restriction. There are ways to get around that (using mint, magic, vfat partitions, emulators...). And for the units, its not a problem in most cases (i guess all that fcl-* stuff will never get ported to Atari).
