How is a legal MS-DOS file name constructed?
In an MS-DOS filename, you may have up to 8 characters followed by a filename extension (eg. .txt, .doc, .bmp) with up to 3 characters separated by a period. In the filename, you may not use the following characters: < > . , : ; / | \ * ? + = " [ ] You may not use spaces either, and the only exception to using a period is separating the name with the extension. Foreign chararacters should be avoided due to codepage differences.

Path and folder take a minimum of 3 characters ("C:"), so you are left with effectively 257. Windows 98/95/3.x/DOS on FAT32 had max filename+ext length of 8+3.
