It is working well but names are short, only DOS version
tolstoj,
If you open the doc file, on the left hand side is the short name in 8.3 format. On the right hand side is the long file name.
For floppy drive A, you may find the short file name is the same as the long file name. It is because it is in FAT (FAT16).
Long file name can only be shown in FAT32.
If you use this method to print C: drive or any subdirectory of C drive (FAT32), you will find the difference and you can find the long file name in the right hand side.
