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.
