LFN(long) file names are stored in marked invalid and hidden directory entries in the FAT (root table chain.. hmm), the FAT type doesn't apply here (VFAT=FAT32/16/12).. it is a kludge. Be a shame for MS BS to pull Freedos down into the quagmire.

DOSLFN access VFAT disks just like Windows, and its long filenames are compatible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
