DOSname is a small program that gets you the DOS form of a specified path or file.
I've been using this for ages, never came round to actually put it online, but there we are. If you occasionally need to get the (short) form of a path or filename, this tool comes to help.
Examples:
Long file name Short file name Long folder name Short folder name test_file.txt TEST_F~1.TXT c:\program files c:\PROGRA~1
test_file_nr2.txt TEST_F~2.TXT c:\documents and settings c:\DOCUME~1
test file nr2.txt TESTFI~1.TXT
test file nr3.txt TESTFI~2.TXT
