This does not seem to be the case for HPFS. At least, OS/2 makes names that don't fall into 8.3 convention invisible to DOS sessions and can't even copy those files to FAT (you have to provide a new, acceptable, name). Of course, not knowing the internals of OS/2, it may be just that IBM is too stupid to provide a useful resource already coded into the system available to its users... :-) -- Daniel C.
