I'm using gnu 19.34 on MSDOS and 21.3.1 on Unix Bash
I have some zip files with contents like
"glop02/a true banana file june 23.eml"
and I want to rename the (100-300) files to 8.3 old msdos style
like "glbjun23.eml"
before I unzip them.
It would be easier to do this on 19.34 since I downloaded them already.
I thought i knew (and prolly forgot) the commands in dired (M and R)..
any help appreciated

19.34 is very old; does it have the "% M" command in Dired? If it
does, that's the command you probably want.
