[java-dev] Re: Problem with long file name

Hey Leopold. I am emailing from my phone.I haven't gotten to check out 
your patch.I would see if the same nameconform bug exhibits itself with 
the nameconform max external.conformpath or whatever it is called.if it 
does than it is a problem in the kernel.as far as getting a numeric file 
handle it is not going to happen anytime soon if ever. That is part of 
max that we chose not to expose to java given that java programmers are 
able to work with unix style paths.finally it should be trivial to roll 
your own nativePathToMaxPath function. The one that goes the other way 
in MaxSystem is hand rolled itself.Hope that helps!
