Historical Notes
RISC OS has had long filename support since the release of RISC OS 4 in 1999, so this utility is only needed for those using very old versions of RISC OS, or trying to retrieve 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.
There is a separate article discussing the different long filename storage philosophies used by LongFiles, raFS and X-Files.
