Not quite. It is one of the drawbacks of MS Windows, to put the
matter correctly. Had MS done their job properly with DOS then the long
filename problem would not be present. However, if one uses the DOS filename
for DOS work, even though a longer name exists under Windows, then MSK
uses that just fine.
