 They will be Joliet almost for sure. If the files have sensible 8.2 names
you are fine with the Sun, otherwise you are left decyphering what the 8.2
names mean.
 Some one at MS decided that Rock Ridge long file names wasnt good enough
and invented a new long file name format for CDROMs.

 Linux can read Joliet long file names, install linux on your Sun...
