* SSNAME: Set short name automatically under windows NT (8.3 DOS name) *
* VERSION 1.2 Tested under Windows XP and Windows 7. *
* Copyright 2021 Raymond GILLIBERT *
* I wrote this program to re-generate shortnames automatically after *
* copying some files under Linux using NTFS-3G. *
* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *
* Usage: ssname.exe "long file name.extension" *
* If a valid short-name already exists it does nothing, otherwise it *
* will find an available shortname and set it. *
* It relyes on the SetFileShortNameW(), Windows XP/2003+ and later *
* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *
* Note that it will start at ~0 and go up to ~ZZ (Base 36) *
* This is bad code I wrote in one night with some good drink..... *
* Since 1.1 you no longer need to prefix \\?\ to a path in order to *
* use long-path names (UNC sized up to ~32kB). *

exemple:
```
> ssname.exe "Ùn fiçhié kì è trop.léong"
SSHORT-NAME SET TO: NFIHIK~0.lon
```
This is usefull to be used in a for loop to regenerate all short file names:
`> for %i in (*.*) do ssname "%i"`
If you want to regenerate short names for all files in current directorry.
Use: `> for /R [/D] %i in (*.*) do ssname.exe "%i"`
To make a recursive loop to include all files in sub-dirs.
Add the `/D` flag to selec folders (dirs).
Note that with the /R flag the full-path-name is supplied by cmd.exe.
The point compared to `fsutil file setshortname ` is that short-name is generated automatically.
