Way back in the Poser 4 days on Mac there was a limit of 64 characters for the texture and Obj paths. I'm pretty sure this has been addressed in subsequent version. Could somebody confirm this for me.

I certainly hope so! ;)

Anyway, even the old routines that I use to convert paths for resources (FSRef in (Classic MacOS) allow 254 characters for the full path.  MacOS X allows 255 character UTF8 encoded filenames.  That's each file/folder name in the path.  I am certain that Poser 5 and later support this as they do not run solely in 'Classic' mode but in OS X directly.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
