[ale] Win95 file systems

[James W. Lynch]

I upgraded the office machine to Win95.  Prior to that, I've been 
using Linux to backup my DOS/Win3.1 files via something like:

mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /C
cd /C
tar cf - . | rsh atlanta dd of=/dev/tape

Which puts the data on a tape drive on the "atlanta" machine in our
network.

Win95 long file name support appears to use entries in the fat that
have a "label" attribute or something like that.  I don't really
care, except knowing that, can I still use my backup script to 
dump Win95 files?  Or more to the point, can I restore anything
dumped that way? 8^)

If not, is there a way I can do it?  I'd accept a pointer to a how-to
or other documentation.

Thanks,
Jim.
