Hi All,

I am trying to cerate a *.bat file but I need to somehow get a list of the files in the short name format.

I have used dir /X and this brings back the name of the files in short, but I also need to get the name of the directory in short??

I am using a .exe where I need to place the names of the files and folder behind it in the short 16bit format..!

Is there a tool or command that can do this for me?

Thanks alot,
Derick
