Short filenames

Hello,
I am new here on the list.

Yesterday I installed Allegro NFSd on my win2000 platform and XFS on a
dos-System connected to the server. Anything works fine!

Whith this configuration I would like to kick off the Microsoft WFW (Windows
for Workgroups) addon on the DOS system. But this is where I got in trouble.

On the win2000 Server I have a big file (kind of database file) with
filenames and other stuff in it. The file names in there are the short form
of the filenames I got from the File System Object with the .ShortPath
method. On the dos-System I open this big database file, read the filenames
and access the files via the network. Using WFW the filenames in the
database file are exactly the names I need to access  from the dos-side.

Using Allegro NFSd the short filenames seem to be calculated by an other
algorithm. I could not understand why nor do I know the way they are
calculated.

Is there a chance to use the .ShortPath method in Allegro NFSd to calculate
the short filenames? My problem is I do not know anything about Lisp and I
was told it is very different to C or Java. I also do not have a Lisp
Compiler to make necessary changes by my own.

Is there anybody out there who could provide me with a little help?

Thank's a lot
Charly
