There is no definition for MAXPATHLEN. But in lmcons.h there is a definition
for  PATHLEN:
#define PATHLEN     256                 // Max. path (not including drive
name)
#define LM20_PATHLEN 256                // LM 2.0 Max. path

and there is a definition for something like MAXPATHNAME in winbase.h:
#define OFS_MAXPATHNAME 128

winbase.h defines Win32 base APIs and here is some cite what lmcons.h is
about:

    LMCONS.H (was NETCONS.H in LM 2.x)

Abstract:

    This file contains constants used throughout the LAN Manager
    API header files.  It should be included in any source file
    that is going to include other LAN Manager API header files or
    call a LAN Manager API.

    NOTE:  Lengths of strings are given as the maximum lengths of the
    string in characters (not bytes).  This does not include space for the
    terminating 0-characters.  When allocating space for such an item,
    use the form:

        TCHAR username[UNLEN+1];

    Definitions of the form LN20_* define those values in effect for
    LanMan 2.0.
