DIR alone is not enough on Windows Nice Try (NT).  Use "DIR /X", which
according to the output of "DIR /?" works like this:

  /X  This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file
      names.  The format is that of /N with the short name inserted
      before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are
      displayed in its place.
