After a long absence from FreeDOS, I used it to download data from my

It was actually LFN of which I was thinking when I replied to the
initial email. I know dos *can* handle long file names, but it doesn't
do so by default, and requires drivers/TSRs to be loaded to assist in
this process.
But, since it's obviously taboo to make a mistake, I'll happily keep my
