Statement:  Under Windows 95, DJGPP v2.00 and higher supports long
filenames.  To use this feature, set LFN=Y from the environment or
change the "+LFN=N" line in djgpp.env to "+LFN=Y" (or delete it
altogether).  All programs compiled with DJGPP v2.00 or higher also
support long filenames in the same way.

Answer:  Download the DJGPP library sources (v2/djlsr201.zip) and browse
through the file i/o functions until you find what you are looking for. 
The libc documentation might help as well; look for the description of
"_use_lfn".

Answer(2):  See above.

You're welcome.  ;)
