I'm not sure whether C'serve will handle the filenames directly or not,
but we've chosen here to use ARC which was originally written for the (say it
softly) IBM-PC world. As you may be aware, MS-DOS and such primitive OSs
cannot handle long filenames. We've chosen to stay compatable with that
compress-uncompress program for a variety of reasons, and we put up with
short filenames as a consequence.
