  VFAT2EA v1.06
  -------------


Introduction:
- - - - - - -
  For FAT partitions, WinXX can assign long filenames to files, and saves them
  in the directory structure. This partition type is called VFAT. OS/2 is not
  able to use these long filenames (except by using VFAT IFS), just the short
  aliases.
  By using VFAT2EA, you'll be able to see, and even copy this long filenames
  *from the WPS*!

  VFAT2EA converts VFAT Long Filenames to OS/2's .LONGNAME Extended Attributes,
  which is the standard way in OS/2 to store the long filenames for every file
  or directory.

  You'll get help, by starting the program without parameters:

  VFAT2EA v1.06 - written by Doodle
  This program converts VFAT Long Filenames to OS/2's .LONGNAME EA.
  Usage: VFAT2EA <drive:>[\path] [/QUERY] [/DOTS] [/NOLOCK]
                 [/NOEABUGFIX] [/DRIVEPARAMS]
    /QUERY  : Don't convert, only report long filenames to screen.
    /DOTS   : Use dots as progress indicator
    /NOLOCK : Don't lock the drive for usage. Not recommended!
    /NOEABUGFIX  : OS/2 has problems with \CHKDSK.LOG and \CHKDSK.OLD
                   files. This program automatically skips them. Use
                   this switch only if you *know*, that this work-
                   around is not necessary for you!
    /DRIVEPARAMS : Show the recognised parameters of drive
  
  Examples:
   VFAT2EA E: /QUERY
   VFAT2EA A:\NEWFIL~1 /DOTS


  For first run, it's recommended to use the /QUERY switch, to see if the prog-
  ram works well for you too. If it's OK, you can run it without that, to do
  the real work.
