   /N          New long list format where filenames are on the far right.   
   /X          This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file   
               names.  The format is that of /N with the short name   
   inserted   
               before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks   
   are   
               displayed in its place.   
      
   I ran dir /? in Windows 2000 and copied the /X switch info and /N since   
   /X mentions it.   
   Switch must be new in NT or 2000.
