All,
I have a problem here.  I'm an OS/2 user, and a REAL fan.  What I need is a 
way, from a DOS program, to say "show me a directory of all the files whose 
filenames DO NOT fit the 8.3 DOS convention." I need a DOS program because it 
must run in a WINOS/2 session, but the files in question are on an HPFS 
partition so they actually have long filenames.
I've tried about everything I can think of and nothing seems to work (from 
Windows - I can do it in an OS/2 session). Does anyone have a suggestion?
