You did? How come you asking then?

: For some reason all paths specified on the command line of my program must be
: in the longfi~1.ext form instead of the longfilename.ext form.. even when the
: file is enclosed in the specified double quotes.. is there some switch I need
: to compile with in order for my program to recognize long filenames?  Does the
: LFN environment variable have anything to do with this aspect of long
: filenames?  Any info would be appreciated.

Did you read the sections 3.3, 8.1 and 22.14?

Yes, LFN has something to do with it...
