I need to transfer files that have long filenames
from a Win95 formatted disk to a Linux formatted
disk. The Linux formatted disk has a spare partition
I can work with to help transfer these files.
When I try to access the files directly from Linux,
it converts the files to the 8.3 dos convention
thus losing the long filenames.

I am wondering, if I format the spare partition
to the umsdos format, will Win95 be able to recognize
it - letting me copy the files there, and preserve
the long filenames. Then could I copy the files
through Linux from the umsdos partition to the ext2
partition keeping the filenames intact?

If this is possible, how do I format the partition
to the umsdos format? The mkfs command seems to have
only msdos but not umsdos.

If this idea will not work, are there any ways to
transfer these files to my Linux file system and
preserve the long filenames?
