SUMMARY
When the mini-Windows portion of Windows 95 is running while you compress
a drive, the file names listed as being compressed use the standard 8.3
file name format, not the Windows 95 long file name format.
MORE INFORMATION
When mini-Windows is running, only standard 8.3 file names are recognized.
It may appear that long file names are being damaged by the compression
routine, as some of the file names are not recognizable. However, the
compression routine does not damage the long file names; it merely displays
the 8.3 versions of the long file names.
If you compress a drive and mini-Windows is not required, files are
displayed using the long file names.
