Actually command.com can already use descript.ion for DIR, but on the other hand, far more people do what MS tells them - use LFN in MS VFAT style, without decript.ion... You could however write a tool which forwards LFN changes and stores them in the descript.ion files :-). Talking about LFN, for *me*, using DOSLFN made deleting files fail, any idea why? And of course: Loading DOSLFN, DISPLAY and SHARE eats 30 kilobytes of RAM, I would really like to have a boot menu selection which allows me to decide whether to load all three or none of them. Being asked for each separately is left as an exercise to the reader, one menu item is enough. DOSLFN for LFN, DISPLAY for non-US/western fonts, SHARE for DOS boxes inside Windows.
