   This I found completely annoying.  It's not a bug, but rather an error on
the user's part.  I have sciibin running on the Unix box, but it won't take
any filenames longer than 14 characters (without screwing with the kernel,
which is the LAST thing I want to do!).  Some people decide to make a 15
character long filename with their BINSCII archives, which doesn't work with
Unix.

  COULD PEOPLE PLEASE USE <= 14 CHARACTERS FOR THEIR FILENAMES!

This would make life real easy.
