ISO9660 only allows up to 32 chars, but many systems default to 8+3 to
placate PCs. mkisofs -L gives you the full 32 chars for systems that are
happy with that (eg RISCOS in my case).
Using -J or -r adds Joliet and Rockridge (respectively) info. This doesn't
change the 32 char limit but does add full long filenames (up to 255 chars
SFAIK- but you'd have to check) for systems that can read the Joliet (all
windows versions since win95) or rockridge (all GNU/Linux, and probablu Unix
since ooh, quite a long time).
So the point is that to get the longer names a CD has to be both written with
the extra info (you can have both Joliet _and_ rockridge if you like) and
read on a system that understands it.
HTH (this may all be stuff you already knew...)
