           Summary: Wine should use MS-DOS (8.3) file names when
                    interacting with Dosbox
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.15
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dos
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: spammis at spam.la


This depends on bug 26422.

Let's assume that the current directory is "C:\Program Files"
(~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files). I type "wine dosprog" where "dosprog" is some
MS-DOS program. Wine starts Dosbox and runs the following commands:

mount c /home/username/.wine/dosdevices/c:
mount d /home/username/.wine/dosdevices/d:
C:
cd \Program Files
C:\Program Files\dosprog.exe
exit

Dosbox does not recognise long file names (Program Files); Dosbox requires
short names (PROGRA~1). The "cd" call and the program call will both fail
because of this.
