Hi,
I created a CD from Windows, the names show up short on QNX4 (Iso9660fsys).
I mean they sho~1 up shor~1 with Iso966~1 :wink:
They show up correctly in QNX6. What do I have to do?
Thanks
Markus

Hm… there are two “standards” for extending the ISO9660 spec to handle
long file names, RockRidge and (I think it is called) Joliet. Joliet is
the Windows one – QNX6 understands both. Check to see if you CD burner
software understands/knows how to make a CD using RockRidge extensions
rather than the default (Joliet).

Get Iso9660fsys 4.23D (from a 4.25 update), which has Joliet support.

why not create a tar-file of the files/directories to be saved - give it
an 8.3 name, move it to win/dos and burn your CD ?
