Ahem...



I tested it and it does work with more than 8 characters, although I'm pretty sure it's a perk of one of the new releases. I don't remember my 0.61 version being able to do that.

As any DOS user will tell you anyways: always rename your files and directory to 8 characters anyways. You may be able to get away with it if you simply mount the specified directory directly, but you'll take the chance to hit problems related to this because of the DOS programs themselves not recognizing the directories or files with names too long. Not to say that it's a mess to navigate in DOS having to type ~1, ~2 or whatnot every other commands...

Ah... The joy of Windows compatibility solutions... <_<
