China DOS Union

The last supported DOSLFN for d:\abc. has been downloaded and it works well.

But it doesn't support directories like d:\..\!

Because I found the trick of md d:\..\ on the Wuyou Forum (it's not visible in Explorer, not even when "Show all files" is on, very clever!).

Using DIR /X /AD /P can simultaneously display d:\.. which is actually d:\e2e2~1.

So
md d:\...\
md d:\....\
md d:\.....\
......
It's found that up to 253 dots can be included in the characters, but only 2 dots, i.e., d:\.. is hidden, and when there are more than 3 dots, it has the same attributes as d:\abc. (visible in Explorer)!

Please have Wengier modify DOSLFN again to support in pure DOS:
For example, md d:\. can create an absolutely hidden directory like d:\e2e2~1.

Is it looking for me? My name isn't Windier. If so, please correct it first, thank you.

I guess it's for you, Wengier.

Yes, it's the webmaster Wengier. Please modify DOSLFN (modify it again based on the previous modified version so that both MD modes with. are supported)

Well then, but please be careful not to misspell the name again, thank you.

Just now, further modifications have been made to DOSLFN. Now, commands such as "md ..", "md ...", "md ...." can be used respectively to create special-form directories like .., ..., .... However, it should be noted that since there is already a .. directory in the subdirectory, and normally directory names must be unique (otherwise it's purely a bug), so "md .." can only be used in the root directory to create the ".." new directory in the root directory, and should not be used in subdirectories. As for directories like ..., ...., they can be created in all directories.

The modified version of DOSLFN is in the attachment.

In addition, more special-form directories can be found in this forum (created by forum users).

Thanks Wengier
I also collected...

Hehe, I guessed it right, didn't I. :|o|:

Wengier：
Could you provide CP936UNI.TBL at the same time?

This file is available in the standard MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk and others, and can be used directly:

Thanks, wait for me to try it!

It doesn't meet the requirements!

The reference name of MD.. established under pure DOS is ~1.

The reference name of MD\...\ under XP's CMD is E2E2~1.

Please have Wengier change the directory name to be consistent with XP, which is E2E2~1 instead of ~1.

The advantage of using md d:\aa..\ to create a folder is that it cannot be accessed and deleted in Windows, but the application program also cannot access it after entering via the CMD command method

To be honest, there is completely no need and should not do this. This is purely an issue with the specific name of the short filename creation. And the name E2E2~1 as its short filename is really meaningless (in fact, it's a bug in XP's processing, completely non-compliant; although I know the principle, deliberately imitating such a non-compliant practice is very meaningless and unrealistic). It should generate the short filename in accordance with the specification, and at the same time be able to achieve the purpose of complete hiding as mentioned above.
