}What I want is a utility program that will run in the background on a
}Mac and show the win95-style long filenames (if any) instead of the
}fairly useless DOS-style filenames for any PC-formatted disk it reads.
}
I seem to recall seeing on the OS 8.0->8.1 net install upgrade page, they
had a version of PC Exchange (the CP that works in the bkgd) that supported
long filenames - or it might have been the CP that comes in the
upgrade/install pkg
I am fairly certain that there is an Apple (freeware) product, either a
newer version of PC Exchange or MacLink Plus, that will do this

They asked me, 'Why don't you get a PC, it's what everyone else has'
And I replied, 'I would say you've just answered your own question'
