(I don't know about later versions - but the original request mentioned that you're still running Win 3.1 - I'd assume you don't have a really recent version of DOS either). Long file names are a feature of Win95 and the "DOS" that Win95 provides. Simply mounting the partition as vfat isn't going to provide that functionality. This is a complete guess - but you might see if the Win32s extentions to Win 3.1 will allow long file names. It's been way too long since I've seen them, so I can't remember one way or another. -Jay
