I do beg your pardon, Sir
Are You trying to say NT 4.0 and/or Win95 are able to read the RR
formatted CD-Roms Usually written for Unix/Linux (true) and correctly
interpret the long filenames without mangling them?
If this is indeed the case i would be _*VERY*_ interested in knowing
what I'm doing wrong, since i have never been able to see a long
filename on any CD-rom, under any Microsoft operating system i have
ever seen.
