Hi,
I'm trying to make a Mac & PC disk (which different files showing/hidden on different platforms). Everything is working fine, except when I put the CD in a PC, the disk name, which is 23 characters long, is getting truncated to 16. Anyway to get the full length, short of making a custom hybrid?

Many PC CD burning apps have the 16 character volume name limit, too. E.g. Nero, BurnAtOnce. They may allow longer names to be entered, even show up in disc images, but the burned disks have the name truncated when mounted.
(You can't blame ancient Win98 compatibility requirements for this, as that had a 11 character limit.)

Thanks! Do you know is this a WinOS limitation or a limitation of Toast? And do you know - if I make a custum hybrid - will that display a longer name?
