DOS ain't dead

"7za -w" fails in pure DOS (Announce)

Unfortunately, p7zip (or 7ZA + HXRT) refuses to let "-w" (temporary work dir) work b/c of LFN issues (tries to make "blah.zip.tmp" or something dumb like that). Is there a possible way to make HXRT translate filenames like this (which seem fairly common in the Windows world) to 8.3 ?
