I tried it several times. Running Windows XP and a dosbox When a directory name 
is above 9 characters and 4dos is the command processor in a dosbox under XP 
than a 'dir' command and also other file commands like 'ren' does not work.
File not found error occurs.

When loading a dosshell like the good older Norton Commander or when 
Command.com is loaded than the prompt changes from full to an 8char name 
(c:\docume~1) and everythings works normal.
