Regarding GetLongPathName API

Hi,

I would like to know how the functionality of GetLongPathName() is achieved
on an NT or Windows 95 machine as it only supports from 98 onwards…
Also how do I find out whether a given path is in the 8.3 format or not. I
could check for ~, but that would be making an assumption…
Is there any other way to do this.?
Found this link http://www.osronline.com/showThread.cfm?link=67245 on the
archives, but it does not touch upon what I need.

Thanks & Regards,
