I wrote to Brandon Allbery about his "trick" technique
(see link in previous post) to get long filenames from
Win98 over the network.

that some patch to a Win98 driver might fix the problem.

In times past, Brandon was a regular contributor to the POSSI list.

I got it to work with Win95, but the trick broke with Win98.

I don't think anyone has figured out what magic NetBIOS protocol
