Now I can't remember exactly, is that 255 characters, or 255 bytes?
Because if it is the latter, then the Unicode character count limit
could be significantly less than 255.
If you look at the link I gave it says 255 characters. This is because
the filename limit on the NTFS filesystem is 255 UTF-16 characters as
well (the API seems to be capable of handling larger filenames tough as
this is indicated by the point that using the GetVolumeInformation
function you can get a value that contains the maximum amount of
characters for a file or directory name).
