   I need to access and modify many files with a software that only runs   
   under plain TOS.   
   Those are lfn, with names that beginning is the same.   
   They represent about 3 GB total space for about 13000 files in   
   something like 1700 folders and subfolders.   
   If I edit them under TOS, their names are truncated when saving.   
   One solution would be to rename them under MagiC!, then edit them   
   under TOS, and them rename them again under MagiC!.   
   This would need to transfer some files to a partition that TOS can   
   handle, then edit, and so on... it would take me ages before I have   
   achieved tenth of the job. And that can't be automated, because it's   
   highly "human-brain-dependant". :-(

   From what I understood, if I let it as-is, BigDos will set all the   
   partitions to GEMDOS type, and my need is to access one 4 GB lfn   
   partition, which I think must be ISO-something.   
   Last time I tried to use BigDos - loooong time ago -, it corrupted   
   my entire disk. :-( I think, now, that was because it wasn't set up   
   correctly. I don't want it to happen once again. :-8

   Well, as I wrote below... :-/
