I don't see why REN is off-topic. Eg. the fact is that the DR-DOS
REN can easily butcher a directory's LFN information, so you
should never use it on a drive that is shared with Windoze 9X.

Have you tried Odi's LFN tools? IIRC, these include a LFN-aware
REN utility, although I don't remember if this supports the "list"
example that you gave, below.

Joe.
