RE: Help! Help! for mistake in commercial page

Unix/Linux have no problem with
large file names or extensions.
Infact it can support a file such as test.filename.txt, or test (no
extension).
Far more liberal than Windows boxes.

*.html is quite valid, and is to my
knowledge more widely used then *.htm.
