Hi Ralf and Dale, please check

to get an impression of dosfsck :-) While the DOS port
is old, it does know about LFN long file names and even
checks for their consistency, as far as I remember.
I am aware that it is part of FreeDOS, but it is relatively old and it
basically "knows about" long filenames but I remember there were some
issues with it. It's probably +10 years ago (the newest source file
included is from August 8th, 2007, some go back to 2003) and my current
email archive of the various FreeDOS mailing lists go back only to 2013.
Will try to take a closer look a bit later this evening.
One problem here is what I mentioned a lot of times in the past but
always got scoffed at is that these are highly technical apps but do not
have any proper technical documentation. And they are typical examples
of where "the documentation is in the source code" just doesn't work to
understand the inner workings, its limitations and hence being able to
fix and/or update the program.
