Look for DOSLFNBK by D.J. Murdoch. It is a $10 shareware
offering, which will create a file holding all the long filenames
that correspond to short file names. After you transfer the files
under DOS with the short names, including the record of the long
names, doslfnbk can reinsert the long names.

I don't know if it will work for NTFS file systems, so you may
have to use FAT32 partitions to do it.
