[users@httpd] Maximum characters in a directory listing

I'm running Apache server 1.3.33 on Darwin 7.9.0. We have directory listings
turned on, and when we use a browser to view the contents of a directory,
any characters beyond the 20th in a file or folder name get truncated and
"..>" get added in place of the remaining characters.
Is there a setting to increase the number of file/folder name characters
displayed in a file or folder name?

Many thanks...

Not directly.
But you can provide your own script to generate these directory 
listings, as follows :

DirectoryIndex /cgi-bin/index.pl

(e.g.)
In index.pl, you can do what you want.

Forgot about your 1.3, but looks just as applicable.
