254 char limit on NT paths

[Gawain Hammond]

I'm trying to check out some code from CVS, that another perosn checked 
in. but when I checkout the module, although no error is returned, one 
particular file is never updated, but on everyone else's client it is. 
We eventually worked out the problem; I use a deeper path to check the 
files out, and therefore at our project's deepest directory level 
combined with where I check code out to, one particular file name + the 
path to that file = 256 characters, and CVS won't check it out under NT.

does anyone know a way around this path limit on NT? SO that I can 
checkout this file where I want?

Cheers,
Gawain
