Mounting a cdrom

Speaking of CDROMS,.. I'm trying to mount a CD that has Zmail by Z-code
and the file/directory names are being truncated.

When I...
        # mount -r -t cdfs -o noversion /dev/rz4c /cdrom

it truncates the directory names after the first 8 characters and before the
"." (period).

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root daemon 4096 Apr 6 1994 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root system 1024 Jan 2 10:22 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root daemon 2048 Apr 5 1994 doc
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 4914 Apr 6 1994 mapnames
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 1530 Apr 6 1994 mapnames.man
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 1064 Apr 6 1994 ncdfile.map
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root daemon 1401 Apr 5 1994 readme
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root daemon 2048 Apr 2 1994 zmail_os

the "zmail_os" should be "zmail_osf1". This is more obvious down in the osf
directory as well. And in fact, the install script aborts while looking
for a filename that's longer than the 8 characters.

Then if I...
         # mount -t cdfs /dev/rz4c /cdrom

it shows the version numbers and still truncates.

I tried a few other things and have been unsuccessful.

Anyone have any clues? I emailed z-support this morning and have yet to get a
z-reply.

Thanks.
