No, it's not there now, and nobody plans to implement it (AFAIK). It's
a good idea, though. I think the Linux source explains the structure of
the --linux-.--- file, or whatever it's called. [checking] The
documentation points you to an assemblage of comments from the source,
which can be found at
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/umsdos or a mirror.
Then you can change the DJGPP library functions to handle the long file
names, symlinks, etc. It might be a big project.
Of course, you can add DOS files, and just umssync afterwards, but I
assume that's not what you meant.
