Check Whether Long File Names Okay

Keywords: 	 Long File Names  LFN  DiskVolInfo

Question:

Anyone know whether there's a command (or a series of commands) to determine whether a specific local or network drive will support "long" file names (as opposed to DOS "8.3" style names), when using FileRename and other relevant verbs?

Answer:

See the DiskVolInfo function in WinBatch, Option 5.
