Re: [MLUG] reading CD-R created in Windows

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Boy I sure do like it when I'm right when I make up answer out of my sheer
(in)experience. ;) Sun has a problem with long filenames? That sounds
odd. I would have guessed Windows would have had the problem. Does it
support TRANS.TBL or whatever that file is that maps short and long
filenames? Can the Sun read the long filenames on a standard Linux distro
cd? Just curious. :)
