@fragment, @Ellis
Hello!!!!
I'm over here!!!!!
Does anybody read me? ;-)
You CANNOT read long names with CrossDOS, but if you go to
this place on the Aminet/disk/misc/ for example, download and install fat95.lha archive, you would have all this annoyingness over once and forever.
If you have any problem with installation of CrossDOS, reading installation readme from it could help you to understand how does it work under Amiga.
The guy did marvelous job with this charm, and the latest upload is from:
[color=CC0000]14-09-2003[/color]. It will also install its own fat95 file system in L:, wich can be even localized to your preffered language (warning messages) during instalation process, if you want.
And will use of course mfm.device.
Despite this I really encourage you to get also mfs21.lha from the same directory, and play a little bit with it to work with fat95, in place of CrossDOS (main change is that in place of CrossDOS PCx: names fat95 author chosed MSx:. You can change it either in mfs21.lha to use MSx: instead of PCx: or modify fat95 DosDrivers names from MSx: to PCx:).
I use both for several months and I couldn't live without it any more.
Again,
Good luck

Well, I really was too loud. Sorry to shout on you, Ellis :-) It's friday and I'm overworked this week...
You CAN read DATA, but the filenames will be shortened under CrossDOS, like fragment described.
Anyay - still both archives are worth to install.. :-D
