ITS certainly had six-character filenames, as did TOPS-10 IIRC, but TENEX had no such limit; consider the existence of <SYSTEM>DIRECTORY, for instance. Certainly, any unreasonably short name limit did not survive into TOPS-20. https://github.com/PDP-10/tenex/blob/master/pdf/TEN-SYS-2.pdf suggests that the "primary name string" is of "indefinite length". >> The idea of a PC operating system on a mainframe is silly. > >No argument there. But there's room in life for silliness. Indeed. I don't think OP is making that distinction, though. - Dan C.
