  12. I'm having problems with long file names. Gnuplot says:
  13. gnuplot>  plot 'long_file_name_w_full_path' w p
  14.                ^
  15.          can't open data file
  16.          (No such file or directory)
  17.  
  18. but 'ls -l long_file_name_w_full_path' says
  19.  
  20. -rw-r--r--  1 mccauley     3824 Jan 12 14:10 long_file_name_w_full_path
  21.  
  22. Using 'wc', the filename appears to be 91 characters long.
  23. I don't have source handy, but is there a built in limit?
