[3] shows an MS-DOS window on a Win98 desktop, having just run the "dir" command. In the background is a Win98 explorer window, for comparison with the dir command. Neither of the two ways of listing the contents of a directory show any filenames for <illegal 8.3, long name present> entries as produced by tridge's vfat patches. >[4] shows a old-looking Windows application, presumably 16-bit running > on XP, with a File Selection box listing the a:\ drive.

[4] 16-bit program (Windows 3.x era) running on XP (but probably also happens earlier). File dialog shows blank line where an entry has an illegal 8.3 name; also as a result of the vfat aptches. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
