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).
