Subject: [9fans] long path names

now that long names are really supported in plan 9, when is the archive
format going to be fixed?  it still uses the 16-char limit from the
ancient days, which even 3rd edition plan 9 could choke on (16 < 28).
other systems out there use one of i think 3 different hacks to extend
the name limit (ugh).
