NSTemporaryDirectory() && Windows

[Marc Brünink]

Hi folks,

on my Windows machine NSTemporaryDirectory() returns a string like:
~C/DOKUME~1/ADMINI~1/....
So this is the old DOS representation of names which are longer than 8 
characters.

How to convert this string to a nice one like:
c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\..

Does any method exist which implements this conversion?
Isn't it a bit outdated to return a MS-DOS 5.x string?

thanks
Marc
