I've got an ISO Level 2 CDROM that I'd like to be able to use on an MS-DOS machine. There's a couple long directory and filenames on the disc that don't work well with MS-DOS. For example, there are directories named like "VEHICLES_LAND" "VEHICLES_AIR" and "VEHICLES_SPACE". These all appear as "VEHICLES" under MS-DOS. You can 'cd' into them under Windows NT, which confirms that WinNT can handle ISO Level 2 discs. For files, some DOS programs that work with wildcards can open files that have apparently the same filename. Others can't. Barring any other solution, can anyone confirm if you could make a 'cd', 'dir' and 'copy' using Microsoft's MSCDEX developer tools that would be compatible with ISO Level 2 discs? I've got Microsoft's MDN Level 2 developer tools, but so far, I haven't found the right MSCDEX documentation… disc 8 has MSDOS/MSCDEX, but these appear to be docs for drivers that exist below MSCDEX itself, not MSCDEX.
