Even if Bill Gates & Co. document them badly (maybe they want to
"deprecate" them?), on FAT systems 8.3 "Dos-like" paths are still
usable... and useful:
:DirDiff C:/user/DOCUME~1
or for
C:\My Long Path With Spaces\My Subpath\My File With Spaces.txt
you can use something like
C:/MYLONG~1/MYSUBP~1/MYFILE~1.TXT
See ":help filename-modifiers" and in particular the :8 modifier. (The
~1 ~2 etc. ending is assigned for unicity, so if there are siblings
whose first six 8.3-compatible characters are identical it could be
other than ~1)
Best regards,
Tony.
