Not quite. The DOS that Windows 95 uses is considered DOS 7.0 (just type
'ver' at a DOS prompt to see), and it will happily list long file names --
in the rightmost column.
In any case, there's plenty of freeware that can print directory trees.
Arbitrarily picking one from http://www.download.com, I found one called
Directory to File Program, which is a mere 239K.
