Converting long file names to 8.3

Hi,

I'm using the MSCFileSystem and SDFileSystem, but noticed that they both don't support long file names.
But there is the possibility to acces files with long file names through their short name. e.g. "My Soundfile.mp3" could be opened with "MySoun~1.mp3"

Is there a function to create the short name from the original file name?
Or is there another possibility to acces long file names on the MSCFileSystem?
