Some senseless babbling from Rachel Veraa to All
on 11-09-99  21:27 about HPFS Filenames to Windows...

 RV> Does anybody know of some sort of utility to transfer long filenames
 RV> between HPFS and Windows 95 files?

Somewhere at hobbes.nmsu.edu there is an IFS for VFAT, which will allow you
to see such drives as long-name capable.

They're based on the Linux EXT2-FS drivers, so they are case-sensitive.

Keep in mind also that the DOS names for the files won't be visible.  It'll
only see and deal with the long names.

When I tried them, the WPS didn't know quite how to deal with them, so be
aware that there may be problems.
