LONG FILENAME ALTERNATIVE

 Someone, not long ago, was asking for an alternative to
the "Long Filename" system (Windows 95/98), to have
comments about files which can easily be edited.  This person
accumulated many files (.ZIP) downloaded from various FTP
sites, and could not remember, by looking at the filenames in the
directory, what many of the files are for. 

 There is a program called "Directory Comments" for MS-Dos
available at HOTFILES.COM (ZD Net) which allows you to
easily add or change comments about your files.  The
comments are NOT stored in the directory or attached to
the file/s, but in a separate log file (in ascii text).
