pippi, you must restart the computer in ms-dos, then look at all the folder
names. You should see that they have the ~1 at the end. This means the
folder or file has a long filename. if you had a file called textbridge
documentation.txt on your computer, and viewed the directory from the dos
level, you'd see something like textbr1.txt.
I would really like to find out how lfn works.
