Does anybody know of a way to retrieve a safe path from
long filenames?

I'm running into a number of problems with RUN and long filenames
that point to \program files\ etc. It's easy enough to fix manually,
but there's gotta be an API call that does this for you.

c:\program files\html help workshop\hhc.exe

into:

c:\progra~1\HTMLHe~\hhc.exe

Any ideas?
