Also in Windows (as far as I know), file names my not be longer than 255

It depends. If you use normal "C:\bla\bla" notation you are right, but if you access the NT namespace (which you can do from within the WinAPI) you can use paths with up to 32767 characters. You need to use this notation though: "\\?\C:\bla\bla" (in this case you MUST use "\" though as "/" is not converted here).
