I looked through the WinAPI help file I have. I remembered
a function called GetShortFileName, but I couldn't find it.
What I found instead was:
* GetShortPathName
This should work. Skimming the description, I'm not sure if
the functions handles files as well as paths.
* Interrupt 21h Function 71A8h Generate Short Name
which details using assembler to accomplish this (YUCK).
* Interrupt 21h Function 7160h Get Short Path Name
ditto.
