Limitation on inf and cat file name length?

Hi Driver Experts:

I have a simple question:

Must the inf and cat file names be in 8.3 format? Can they be longer than 8
chars?

Any difference on 64-bit OS?

Thanks in advance.

there are no file name length restrictions in general. 64 bit XP (which is
really server 2003 64 bit under the covers) has some restrictions on cat
file name length, I think around 28 chars
