Interrupted discussion of BIRD 46

All,

This morning's IBIS Open Forum meeting was cut off in mid-discussion of
BIRD 46. In that discussion, it was pointed out that file names longer than
eight characters may get truncated (at least visually) under Windows NT 3.5.

Now in proposing this BIRD, it is was our intent to lift restrictions that are
no longer needed. If NT 3.5 is still a common engineering platform and it or
any other common engineering platform cannot trivially support file names
longer than eight characters, then by all means, let us keep the restrictions.

However, bear in mind that this BIRD will not take effect until after IBIS 3.1
is ratified. At that future date, will NT 3.5 still be a common engineering
platform?

Regards,
Matthew Flora
