Historical Notes
RISC OS has had long filename support since the release of RISC OS 4 in 1999, so this utility would only be needed for those using very old versions of RISC OS, or those trying to retrieve old data saved on old-format disks (E or F format or earlier) under RISC OS versions 3.71 and earlier.
Note that if RISC OS 3.1 is being run under RedSquirrel, it is not affected by the infamous 77-file-per-directory limit. RedSquirrel uses HostFS and thus supports long file names and unlimited files per directory.
The X-Files application page contains a discussion of the different long filename storage philosophies between LongFiles, raFS and X-Files.
