The first thing to try is to put the file name or complete path name in
quotes.
DOS will always recognize six alpha characters + ~ + numeral. i.e.
abcdef~2 where abcdef is the first 6 chars of the file name. The
numeral gets rid of redundant file or directory names. The first
redundant name being ~1
Dos in XP doesn't support long file names. However Dos never executes any
commands, it passes them to the Windows Console for the console to execute
(very similar but not exactly the same commands).
External commands usually need "" around filenames. But it depends on the
program.
