Earlier we used to save files with more than 8+3 charecters for file name and extension. Now we can have long file names (enhanced file descreptions). If I give the long file name , I want the equilant short file name and vice versa.

eg: when you type DIR command at DOS prompt, you get short and long file names.

If I need to use any Windows APIs or DLLs, Pl give the names and functions to retrieve the fiel names.

With Regards
Satya
