Hi Mark,

it seems to be you selected a non-optimal list for this question :-) -- 
[email protected] (the generic WebDAV mailing list) seems to be a 
better choice.

That being said -- are you referring to a limit on the client or on the 
server?

In general, Windows can deal with longer paths, you just need to use the 
correct API for that. If course, many Windows *applications*, such as 
Explorer, don't.
