> DJGPP can accept long file names under Win9x (and other OSes that implement > the Win9x LFN API). I don't think it can under WinNT, unless thay've added > the LFN API to the DOS BOX in later versions of WinNT. ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/ntlfn08b.zip can be used to provide LFN API services to the DOS box. Windows 2000 and Windows XP are the "later" versions of WinNT and they provide the LFN API (with a few bugs). You can also run the LFN TSR above under Windows 2000 and XP. There are also LFN API TSRs available for DOS - but I haven't used any of them enough to make a recommendation.
