How to 8.3 name mangle like windows

Objective: I am looking for a way to create a windows share on Ubuntu which supports windows style 8.3 name mangling.

AllYourDrivesAreBelongToUs.txt -> ALLYOU~1.TXT

Rational: The company I work for has an access based quoting software which apparently uses 8.3 name mangling under the hood to access its files. I would like to host these files on the server it will currently not work on a non-windows based share.

I have read about Samba's version of name mangling, but this is not the same would not match the apparent hard coded 8.3 names mangled inside the quoting software.

If I map a windows shared drive in windows, I can access a long file by truncating it to 6 characters and adding a ~1 followed by the extension as shown above. This currently does not work with a similarly mapped samba drive in windows.

Question: Does anyone know of samba settings which would enable windows style 8.3 file mangling to make this happen or perhaps know of a filesystem wrapper which could introduce this aliasing functionality on the OS level?

From O'Reilly on samba:

[global]
    include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m

This resolves to smb.conf.WfWg when a Window for Workgroups client attaches. Now you can create a file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.WfWg which might contain these options:

[global]
    case sensitive = no
    default case = upper
    preserve case = no
    short preserve case = no
    mangle case = yes
    mangled names= yes

and it has a remark:

If you are not using Windows for Workgroups 3.1, then you probably do not need to change any of these options from their defaults.

And another note: according to the old manual

Samba still has to remain backward-compatible with network clients that store files in just the 8.3 format, such as Windows for Workgroups. If a user creates a file on a share called antidisestablishmentarianism.txt, a Windows for Workgroups client cannot tell it apart from another file in the same directory called antidisease.txt. Like Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP, Samba has to employ a special method for translating a long filename to an 8.3 filename in such a way that similar filenames will not cause collisions. This is called name mangling, and Samba deals with this in a manner that is similar, but not identical to, Windows 95 and its successors

So there is NO 100% support for this.

Use the shortname option for the mount command:

shortname=mode
      Defines  the  behavior  for  creation  and  display of filenames which fit into 8.3
      characters.  If a long name for a file exists, it will always be the preferred  one
      for display.  There are four modes:

      lower  Force  the short name to lower case upon display; store a long name when the
             short name is not all upper case.

      win95  Force the short name to upper case upon display; store a long name when  the
             short name is not all upper case.

      winnt  Display  the  short name as is; store a long name when the short name is not
             all lower case or all upper case.

      mixed  Display the short name as is; store a long name when the short name  is  not
             all upper case.  This mode is the default since Linux 2.6.32.
