Greetings;

Wondering if anyone'll say how exactly to copy
files from FreeBSD back to "msdos" zip disks (for
temporary "backup") while also preserving entire
filenames.  The "cp" command's currently
preserving only the first eight characters plus
any "extensions!"  Wondering if it's possible to
do without reformatting zip disks to "ufs..."

Thank you and have a great day,
