Nope, but there is a work-around which you might be able to use. If you
are working in a network environment, you might have other machines around
which run NFS and use the BSD fast file system. The fast file system lets
you have very long file names. If so, you could create a directory on
such a machine and mount it on your A/UX machine via NFS. The fast file
system seems to be one of the more commonly requested features for new
versions of A/UX.
