3 Clisp has problems with generated Windows 'short names' e.g.
4 echo %TMP%
5 C:\Users\TESTTE~1\AppData\Local\Temp
6 Windows generates a short name for the temporary dir, when the
7 username contains spaces and is longer than 8 chars.
8 This program converts that path name to the 'long version', so that Clisp has
9 no problems with long user names and plotting commands.
