Subject: Long Filenames

This is going to sound silly, but has ANYONE had any luck with transferring
files with long filenames over to the Mac?
I've got a bunch of CD-R's that I have stored my MP3's on (ripped them from
my original media to use in my Empeg). I'm now retiring my Windows box and
want to move them off the CD-R's and onto DVD-RAM discs, but a lot of the
filenames are too long.
In a previous version of netatalk I looked at, if the filename was too
long, the mac simply wouldn't see it at all (Where I would expect it to see
like an abbreviated version of the filename or something).
I tried netatalk a month or two ago (what was installed on my SuSE
install), and I've tried DAVE (from thursby.com) to try and transfer them
that way (except DAVE bones the long filenames by transferring them as
01PULP~3.MP3, using the 8.3 filename instead of working with the long
filename to create something useful.
Anyone had any luck at all on this topic?
