Yes, and this is what MiNT do since ever, for Pdomain(1) it don't convert 
filenames to the 8+3 upper case TOS convention on Fsfirst/Fsnext.

But that's all, I don't see any reference to return longer filenames than 
there is space in the DTA struct nor that the DTA struct is redefined. So 
for Fsfirst/Fsnext you get the original filenames like they are on the 
disc if you are Pdomain(1) AND(!) the filename is smaller than 14 
characters (as there is no more space in the DTA struct).
