I got really sick of transporting files from ftp sites via the MS-DOS box on my desk here, because the !@#$% ms-dos machine can only have 8.3 type filenames. So I wrote DOG. It is now available on: abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov:incoming/amiga/dog.c Here is the comment frog the top of the source, hope it is useful to others out there... /* DOG Create a rename script to unmangle the ms-dog filenameing convention -- If you have net access on a unix box, but have to transport software through an ms-dos machine to get is to your amiga, no doubt you hate the fact that ms-dog cannot support full amiga filenames. This is no longer a problem now that you have DOG. Compile DOG on your local unix box, and then run it with the command line: DOG [filenames] DOG will create a file called !RENAME in the current directory and will rename all the specified files to have names that are unique to a dos machine. Now transport the files to your amiga, via the dog-box and type the line on your amiga: Execute !RENAME Now all your files are called what they were originally! -- (c) 1990 Phil Kernick / Wizard Software This program is freely distributable as long as the above copyright message is left intact.
