Hi!
My computer is a dual-boot with Win98 and Mandrake 8.0. I have tons of DOS games on my F: (mounted as /mnt/f, type vfat and "LREDIR F: /mnt/f" 'ed in dosemu). The other day I was trying to play Jazz Jackrabbit. But unfortunately, I couldn't access it in DOSemu because the folder name "Jazz Jackrabbit" was truncated to "jazz ~jc". Now, in DOS, it's kind of hard to type in file/folder names with spaces in them :) I've found that if I remount my F: as "msdos", instead of "vfat", DOSemu, correctly truncates the folder names using the numeric tails method that Win98 uses i.e. "jazzja~2". The problem wish this though, is that I have other (non-games) files on F: and this means that in Linux, I have to access all my files using the filenames with numeric-tails (yuck). So what I am asking is this: I want to be able to access my files on a FAT32 partition with the proper filenames in Linux BUT in DOSemu, I want the numeric tails. I know that NTVDM handles LFNs with spaces horribly anyway (i.e. it doesn't :)), but I would like to know if DOSEmu has a solution.
