I'm having trouble with 720K DOS formatted floppies not showing the files with long file names.

Amiga 500+
Kickstart 2.04
1MB stock RAM
Workbench 2.1 (Colanto disk bought from AmigaKit)
CrossDOS 7.04 Gold (1998 Edition by CONSULTRON).

Acording to wikipedia:

CrossDOS 7 was the last version released and included support for long filenames and other features not available in the bundled version.

However, when insering a DOS 720K formated disk, workbench reads the disk ok, shows up as PC0:, however the file names are shortened to 8.3 filenames.

I've had a look in Workbench2.1:System/CrossDOS to see if there is any setting in there for long file names, but it just comes up with something to do with ASCII.

However, I did have trouble installing CrossDOS. I went through the instalation program and it was asking me to swap disks between Workbench2.1 and CrossDOS. It goes smoothly until after copying mfm.device. It then asks for the CrossDOS disk. However, when the CrossDOS disk is inserted, it is not reconised for some reason.

I had to revert to a manual install by copying the required files which are the following:

L:CrossDOSFileSytem
DEVS:mfm.device
C:Mount
SYS:system/Format
SYS:system/DiskCopy
SYS:system/CrossDOS

Upon running Dr_CrossDOS, it report's all OK.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
