NAME_MAX seem to 255 in VC.

VC9
~~~
$ grep -r -nH NAME_MAX *
limits.h:117:#define NAME_MAX            255
stdio.h:111:#define FILENAME_MAX    260
~~~

VC6
~~~
$ grep -r -nH NAME_MAX *
CRT/SRC/STDIO.H:216:#define FILENAME_MAX    260
(...)
Include/LIMITS.H:107:#define NAME_MAX            255
Include/STDIO.H:200:#define FILENAME_MAX    260
~~~

Same as in Linux:

~~~
$ grep -r -nH -w NAME_MAX *

linux/limits.h:11:#define NAME_MAX         255  /* # chars in a file name */
~~~

Same in MinGW
~~~
$ grep -r -nH -w NAME_MAX *

limits.h:108:#define NAME_MAX 255
~~~

I can't say for newer ones but it can be assumed that if it was N for X years
prior, it will be after. That is not something you change on a whim.
