Warning! 8.3 programs will only see first occurance of file!

Did I have a beautifull idea for hashing LFN's into a more intelligent
means of 8.3 names, follow this.

I use a LFN of : "Monthly reports for October"
		 "Monthly reports for November"
		 "Monthly reports for December"

And you can guess the WIN(% results, I won't bring them up.  But now,
using the brand new idea I have, I'll have the following names under 8.3:

MONRFO01.ext
MONRFN01.ext
MONRFD01.ext

Can you see how's it's done?
