However, when I mount the retail cdrom, the files are like this (dos 8.3 format): /cdrom/system/unreal~1.est /cdrom/system/unreal~1.exe /cdrom/system/unreal~1.frt /cdrom/system/unreal~1.icd /cdrom/system/unreal~1.ini /cdrom/system/unreal~1.int However, I've got other cd's that read correctly. This cd does show the long filenames under linux and win*.
