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.

Thanks,
pesarif
