Does the AS/400 use an 8.3 convention, or something else?  I'd like to
take care of this before another release comes out, if we can get the
information we need.

This has been taken care of in the Expat sources now (in CVS).  Many
of the build support files used on Unix, Windows, and Mac OS still
have long lines; those will be more difficult to change, and may not
be possible for all of them.

Thanks!
