Then set LFN=n on Windows 95, and it should work too.  But you won't have 
the long filename support on Windows 95 that way.  If you want the long 
filenames, you should do this:

	1) Boot into Windows 95 and open DOS box.  Set LFN=y.  Also, disable 
the NameNumericTail misfeature of Windows (section 8.2 of the DJGPP FAQ list 
describes how to do that).
	2) Unzip the original distribution again with DJTAR.
	3) Build Emacs on Windows 95 while LFN is set to `y'.
	4) Set LFN=y whenever you launch Emacs.

You shoul;d now have Emacs that works in both DOS and Windows 95.  If you 
have problems with that, tell me what they are and I'll try to help.

I never looked at this hard enough to know.
