- Windows in general and FileManager in particular has support for long file
- names (ala HPFS) however it relies on the network driver to provide
- the implementation. If you were looking at an HPFS share from a LanMan
- server you would see the long file names, but it would appear that the
- NetWare driver for Windows does not provide the required LFN functions.
