[ILUG] zip drive and filenames.

[Breathnach, Proinnsias (Dublin)]

Long filenames will only show up if you're using vfat to mount the disk (if
it's never been near windows though, why not use some form of unix FS on the
disk ?)

What you'll need to do is compile in vfat support and specify that you want
vfat not fat when you're mounting the Zip drive ....
