Long filename question on burning CD

Hi folks,

FreeBSD 5.2

Most filenames saved exceed 8 characters. After
burning on CD they can be read comfortable on the same
OS as well as other Lunux/Unix boxes. The problem
comes while reading the same CD on Window Explorer,
XP, ME, etc. The filename can't read clearly because
all of them changed to 8 character max, such as ~01,
~02, etc. Is there any solution on burning CD allowing
the long filename (exceeding 8 characters) can be read
clearly on Windows identical to their name read on
Linux/Unix

Kindly advise.

TIA

B.R.
Stephen Liu
