It's not the software that is the problem it is the CD standards. If
you did find some software to do it then the CD would not be readable.

Have you thought of compressing the contents into a zip file to preserve
the names?

You need a long filename finder:

When I first read this, I thought Well there's at least one sensible
answer here! :-) Then I thought you need to add the proviso that "It
would not be readable by other standard programs." Presumably, the
program that wrote the CDR would also be able to read it.

Then, thinking further, it seems to me that there should be no reason
why a program couldn't be written that would handle long file names
and write its output to the CDR following usual CD standards.
Analogous to the infamous Doublespace for HDDs.

But this is obviously the much preferred way of solving the problem as
it both maintains CD standards are uses an approach that's pretty
universally available for "decoding". [But, in a sense, it's doing
just what I was commenting about above, with the additional benefit of
compression.]


Cheers, Phred.

I nearly did and then decided not to - not sure why!

I'm pleased to be wrong. I haven't had chance to test either program
yet but will do so soon. I don't know enough about the various
standards to understand how they work only that they shouldn't (I am a
few years out of date though). That doesn't matter either as long as
they do!

Thanks for the correction.
