Filename limits

[Colin JN Breame]

As I understand, relative paths in windows suffer from a 255 character 
limit (or something like that).  However, I have heard rumour that 
absolute paths in windows are limited to 32k characters.

Would it not solve the problem of  the "File name too long" errors if 
paths were first converted to their absolute form?
