It lets DOS and Win3.x fully support long filenames! Isn't that great。。 For files like grub.conf in GRUB, without DOSLFN, working with them would be inconvenient~~ Likewise, for extraction software like RAR and ZIP, without DOSLFN, the consequences would be...

In other words, it just lets you see the full filename?! I think 8.3 is pretty good too! You have to type fewer characters!

*The following is quoted from minisheep at 2003-6-28 22:20:21:* In other words, it just lets you see the full filename?! I think 8.3 is pretty good too! You have to type fewer characters! Long and short filenames each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but DOSLFN lets long and short filenames be used at the same time under DOS! Isn't that great。。 It's not just about seeing long filenames. With DOSLFN, you can also create, modify, copy, and move long filenames。。
