The "/n" switch forces FAT partitions to be displayed using the
HPFS-style format, but this is the default for CDFS.  The switch will cause
the display of the size of the EA information, if any, for each file, but
does not, as far as I know, cause the .LONGNAME EA (or any other EA) to be
displayed.
