<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I did download KCopy (kc030.zip) from the site Dave mentioned. I haven't tested it very extensively, but it does seem to work fine on eCS 2.0 rc6a, at least. It doesn't provide direct access to the longname files by the long name. Rather, it copies the file to the location you specify, changing the name to the long form in the new location.</font>

I wasn't familiar with it.) on eCS ? All the 2GB thumb drives I have are handled that way on MAC OS X (and, I assume, Windows -- though I haven't tried that yet). Or does everybody just accept the manufactured 8.3 file names ? That's what I've been doing for some time now. But I'd prefer to use what's there.</span></div>
