The Zip disk driver that is used while you have a Windoze Zip mounted screws
up long file names when they are shorter, or equal to, 8.3. If you have
a DOS-length file name on the Unix system that is mixed case, when it is
written to the Zip disk it will ONLY write the DOS filename to the
directory sturcture and not the mixed case file name to the long file name
directory structure. That caused me all kinds of grief.
Then I decided to configure the Zip drive to work with mtools. Read the
man page on configuring mtools to use the Zip drive. I assigned mine the
letter 'Z'. :-)
