For those of you looking for 
DOS undocumented: The editor is Schulman, the publisher Addison-Westly
I falied to mention that when I mentioned the book before.

For anyone that can use it: A dos interrupt from this book...

ah=60h
ds:si:pointer to asciiz file name or path input
es:di pointer to 128 byte buffer top hold output, an asciiz string
int 21h

you feed it a file name which can include '.','*',network drive letter
susbt drives, joined drives, or even files that dont exist yet
it spits out a carry if there was an error, or else a fully
expanded file name path all capitalized, * -> ??? , capitalized
subst drives expanded, networkdrives become \\....
However it can expand it to refer to a physical drive pathname , it will.

Hope this helps someone! Thanks for all the help yall have given me
!!!
