There's a utility on the internet called detar.exe that's supposed to
do a pretty good job of converting long file names into 8.3 style
file names.  The utility is called detar.exe if memory serves.
opendos is beta and there's something even more beta about part of it
now.  command.com in the newest beta version supports long file names in dos.
