On both MS-DOS and FREEDOS, you need a Long File Name TSR:
http://wiki.fdos.org/Main/LongFileNames http://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/ Latest release and patches for freedos can be found on the home page: http://www.freedos.org/ http://www.free.oszoo.org/download.html Also latest version of DRDOS/OPENDOS: http://www.drdosprojects.de/ should be FAT32 and LFN compatible. jaclaz This post has been edited by jaclaz: Oct 24 2005, 06:21 AM |
