DOS2Amiga V1.0 (C) 1999 Paul Qureshi
*FREEWARE*
This program converts DOS 8.3 filenames back to Win95 file names. It works
by using a conversion file that can be easily generated.
Syntax: DOS2Amiga [<directory>[,<directory>[,<directory>..]]]
The first way to make the file is to use the DOS dir command. Go into the
directory containing the files you want to convert and type this at a DOS
prompt:
dir >dir.txt
Assuming you have DOS 6 and Win95 this will generate a file with both the
DOS 8.3 names and Win95 names. The other way to create the conversion file
is to use an AmigaDOS list command. Mount an XFS device for the disk and
use an AmigaDOS shell to move into the directory containing the files you
want to convert. Type this:
list LFORMAT '%c %n' >list.text
When you have one of these files, simply copy all the files (including the
dir.txt or the list.text) onto an AmigaDOS partition. Then type:
DOS2Amiga <directory>
whare <directory> is the directory whare you copied the files to. You can
alternativly move into that directory in an AmigaDOS shell and just type
DOS2Amiga
The filenames should be converted.
