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!
