Then you take your code to a machine like an Intel iRMX based system
and find all your typos.
ALVN_1_A_Long_Variable_Name_1
...
ALVN_1_A_Lnog_ etc.
which compiled on the short name machine break on another machine like
the Intel which understands 31 character variable names. I have
already experienced this problem with code using names longer than
8 characters when trying to compile it on this system. (not my own
software this time).
