    I recently changed the name of a GFLAS file used in the following code
    running version 4.0.1
            character qgflasfile*90
            CALL GOPWK(9,1,3)
            CALL GFLAS4 (1,qgflasfile)
            CALL GFLAS3 (1)
            CALL GCLWK (9)
    from
     "/users/glendeni/SOAR/MAPS/TOPO/maps.topo.CANV.gflas"
    to
     "/users/glendeni/SOAR/MAPS/TOPO/maps.topo.37-107+86-136.gflas"

    and got the following error messages:
    wks.c: Error in opngks_(): Could not open /users/glendeni/SOAR/MAPS/TOPO/maps.topo.37-107+86-136.gf
    wks.c: Error in opngks_(): Could not open /users/glendeni/SOAR/MAPS/TOPO/maps.topo.37-107+86-136.gf
     warning:GKS:GCSGWK: --ERROR OPENING DISK FILE
     ERROR **** IN GKS ERROR REPORTED FROM libhlu.a(Error.o)

    so there seems to be 57 character limit to the file name. That seems
    rather short so I wanted to know if there is any way that limit can be
    increased.
