Default Saving LONG Filenames

In the process of rebuilding my data on a new HDD, I want to setup a
similar folder setup like I had on my old drive, which failed.
I have a copy of the old drive, which I saved using a bootable linux
stick.

What I want to do is save the entire file tree as a text file.

I went to that backup and then to the Dos prompt (cmmmand line), and
typed TREE filetree.txt

I was able to save the entire file tree, as text, but all the long
filenames of the folders were truncated as FOLDER~1.
Is there any way to save the LONG folder names?

I'm doing this on Win98, but I would think XP would work the same in
this manner.
