Subject: Q: How to convert long Win95 paths to 8.3 dos paths?

Hello,

I am looking for a function, that can convert 
long NT or Win95 names to 8.3 dos names
(the same name that 'dir /x' would show).
I could not find anything relevant in the
with dejanews nor on the python pages...

This would convert
   C:\Program Files
to
   C:\PROGRA~1

Thank you for your help

Michael
