Yup.  It's a DOS program, not a 32 bit console prog like Mcafee, so short
filenames only.

The other thing to be aware of is command line length, the old DOS 128 byte
limit comes into play.  Most of the parameters can be abbreviated if needed -
just use enough of the command to differentiate it from the other commands,
ie: /DE instead of /DELETE, /DU instead of /DUMB.
