The Long File Name (LFN) hack exists in a state of development on my
machine at home.  There are a dozen or so libc routines that must be
hacked to use a different interrupt.  For the most part not hard, but
the "findfirst" structure is different and support things like create/
accessed/modified time.  I have just been too busy to finish it and put it 
into the V2.0 libc.  Probably after V2.0 release.  Other things like
file name globbing will break which makes the hack harder than it first
seems.  The strategy is to use the new functions if they are supported
and fall back to 8.3 if it's not.

Note, this functionality is only available under DOS sessions under the
GUI and not from DOS 7 w/o GUI.
