OS/2 keeps track of long filenames on removable FAT drives. I just
double-checked: I had a file on floppy named "JIM". I renamed it, using
WPS, to "Jimbo a-logo!.blobbo.txt". Checking on my DOS laptop, the
filename is now "JIMBO_A-.TXT", but it still comes up as "Jimbo a-
logo.blobbo.txt" on OS/2. [:)
Take care and TTYL.
