jaclaz Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) On both MS-DOS and FREEDOS, you need a Long File Name TSR:http://wiki.fdos.org/Main/LongFileNameshttp://www.geocities.com/jadoxa/doslfn/Latest release and patches for freedos can be found on the home page:http://www.freedos.org/http://www.free.oszoo.org/download.htmlAlso latest version of DRDOS/OPENDOS:http://www.drdosprojects.de/should be FAT32 and LFN compatible.jaclaz Edited October 24, 2005 by jaclaz
