The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I have seen an issue with path length, but I am unsure whether it was an API or Navigator or where we found it. Things were truncating after a surprisingly short distance into the path name. Not sure what that distance was any more though. Maybe something line 80 or 128 characters.

Subject: IFS "brick wall" limit on subdirectories
Some years ago, we found out (the hard way) that there is a "brick wall"
in the number of subdirectories possible in an IFS directory. And we had
to rework an application to use ZIP files where it had been using
subdirectories.
Would anybody happen to know what that limit is? And whether there's a
similar "brick wall" limit on the number of files in an IFS directory?
Does the IFS use *nix-style "inodes"? Or something else?
