I am told the system wrote the CDs with Red Ridge extensions. I wrote them using a UNIX (IRIX) system. Under Windows 98, I can see and read all the files but their names are simplified to 8.3 format. Is there a way to make either the Windows 98 system, or at least DJGPP software (BASH and so on) "see" the full original files names? They are certainly there, they can be seen by IRIX workstations. But I no longer have easy access to these, and wish to use the CDs at home on my PC. It happens that I chose long, similar names for many hundreds of files and the names do not make much sense in 8.3 form. Unfortunately, it would not be practical to re-write the data to CD (either with different file names or in a different format). Thank you for any help! -- Daniel Barker.
