There is a command line replacement for DOS called 4DOS that supports the full LFN
file names too, even when booting to full DOS mode, but I am not 100% sure if programs
that are LFN aware will also recieve those names under it. May be a good thing to
check
out though. I would have it installed on mine, but have too many other things I
desperately
need to pay the shareware fees on already. lol But it is very a very nice replacement
even
if it doesn't help with the file names.
