Obtaining short DOS file names?

[Paul Stodghill]

I'm working with some shell scripts under Cygwin that do not handle spaces
in file names very well. "No problem," I think, "I'll just use the short
versions of the file names".

Is there anyway to obtain the short version of a file name from the long
version within a shell script?

E.g.,

		c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\ ->
			c:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\
	or
		/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/ ->
			/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/MICROS~4/

Thanks.
