Now, select the file and press Shift+F5 to copy the file to the same folder. Add "6" after the file name. Total Commander does not display a warning but tries to copy the file which fails. Cancel the operation.
Now, again select the file and press Shift+F5 to copy the file to the same folder. Add "67" after the file name. Total Commander does display a warning saying the target name length is 260 (which is correct) and that the last part of the file name is 258 characters long. The last part of the file name is however 257 characters long and not 258! Moreover Total Commander reports the maximum file length is 256. However trying to create a file with a name length of 256 fails. Also according to wikipedia page about NFTS the maximum file length is 255.
Tested using Windows XP on a FAT32 drive and a NFTS drive.
