Do you speak about mangling (making "longfilename" to something like "longfi~1") 
or about case preservation?

For case preservation try the following:

	mangle case = no
	case sensitive = no
	preserve case = yes
	short preserve case = no
	default case = lower

This will give you

	short.nam	=> short.nam
	Short.Nam	=> short.name
	SHORT.NAM	=> short.nam
	longfilename	=> longfilename
	LongFileName	=> LongFileName
	LONGFILENAME	=> LONGFILENAME

Hasta la vista,
               Robert
