This is limitation of DOS itself. DOS up to 6.22 accept only 8 signs for filename plus 3 signs for extension. I think it can't be solved...

Now you can use such commands work with long file names. You just need to install a tool called LFN Tools. 😉

If file.conf is a dosbox's configuration file so use your standard text editor instead.
