And as I said, the idea of long file names - hidden in a separate file - was in use for at least 5 years before Microsoft came out with MS Win95. So the patent is bogus,
This is not what the patent protects. The patent protects storing a long and a short version of the filename in the same directory. That's different from storing a long filename in a separate hidden file.
