Long Filenames in MSDOS Filessystem

[Thomas Doerfler]

Wilfried,

we had internal discussions about that some time ago. From a functional 
point t would be nice, from a technical point it would be rather easy to 
implement. From a legal point, it might be difficult, because Microsoft 
has patents pending some aspects of long filename implementations on FAT FS.

wkr,
Thomas.
