NTFS may be derived from HPFS, but if you create a long filename like
in Unix, it is a true long file name. It can not be directly copied to a
dos os. The name must be changed to an 8.3 type format. In NTFS, the long
file name is actually a comment like in the node name area. The file name
still actually is 8.3.
