Long file names in long paths

[Deirdre McIntyre]

When is a file name too long, assuming the file is in a
very long path? Put another way, we have problems with
long file names because we also have long paths. When
users at my company request still deeper file structure,
what rules of thumb do I go by?

Thanks very much.
