I have a CD that was created a few hours ago on a Windows machine.

The subdirectory and file names on the CD are longer than the 8.3
characters in "classic" DOS FAT format. However, they don't display on
my machine (Warp 4). Instead, I simply get the first few letters of
each name, then a tilda (~), then a number. For example, the
subdirectory SCOUGInTheCarFeatures shows up as SCOUGI~1.

How do I get OS/2 to display and use the full subdirectory and file
names?
