Utilities for formatting 8.3 filenames (short filenames) -- mostly intended as a toy project. Currently only dir (ls) is implemented.

Implementations in other languages are also included; mainly as testing grounds for those languages.

• Allow an 8.3 path as an argument
  • This would need a map or bidirectional map (implemented with hash tables) between 8.3 and long filenames
• Implement other tools like cd in terms of 8.3 file names
• Sort list of files before converting the files to 8.3 (this would solve discrepancies between C/Rust and Go because Go sorts files differently; also, C and Rust don't guarantee any particular order of files)

• C: make && ./dir test
• Rust: cd rust && cargo run ../test
• Go: cd go && go run dir.go ../test
• Perl: ./perl/dir.pl test
• Lingua::Romana::Perligata: ./perl/dir.perligata test

$ ./dir test
