Here are my registry entries for NT4.sp4:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
NameNumericTail			00
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation	0x00
Win31FileSystem			0x00
Win95TruncatedExtensions	0x01

NameNumericTail is binary, like [22.18] suggests, the three other are
hex, and were already there. I'm no registry guru, so I didn't touch
them.

But I'm afraid NameNumericTail has no effect :(

I would like to hear from someone else using NT4.sp4 and DJGPP, perhaps
there is something else missing... Anyone tried Andrew Crabtree's LFN
driver?
