Wondering if it's possible to >do without reformatting zip disks to "ufs..." Try using mount_msdos's "-l" or "longnames" option, which forces long file names to be enabled. Depending on what commands you normally use to mount the zip disk, you may need to add "-o longnames" to the command line, or change the options field in /etc/fstab to something like "rw,longnames". "man mount_msdos" for further details. Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
