Sorry, I have a file that started out as say 'filename' that was transfered to a fat filesystem and was renamed by the system to 'filena~1'. Is there an algorithm or way to retreive the original filename? Nope. Unless the `dos' partition is actually a `vfat' partition that isn't mounted as `vfat', then there is no way to recover these, because it is not stored anywhere in the filesystem. OTOH, sometimes (depending on Lose95 setup), Lose95 will store the *first* file that's too long (`longfilename1') as the ordinary, but truncated name (`longfile'), and only store additional files having the same prefix with ~X (`longfilename2' as `longfi~1'). You can recover two characters this way if you go on this assumption, but not more. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
