1808.0. "Windows95 Command Prompt (CMD) only sees 8.3" by YAKKA::KINGSMILL (Geoff Kingsmill, Australia) Sun Apr 06 1997 17:58

DUNIX V4.0B
Pathworks V6.1-ECO2

If a Windows95 user accesses a Pathworks/UNIX share from the Command Prompt
(CMD) then only 8.3 format filenames are seen. This works fine when accessing a 
Pathworks/VMS share and with WNT to a Pathworks/UNIX share.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,
Geoff..

Yeah, it is.  The 6.2 (or 7.0) release will display longfile names - where
the first 8 characters of the file name are displayed.
