Version 2.01 (the latest released version) can, but on a machine
with this version installed the support will be switched off.
To turn it on, type:

    set LFN=y

You can put this in your autoexec.bat if you like.  This support
is only available in DOS boxes under Windows 9x.

Note that if you take the programs to some other computer that
does not have djgpp installed the long filenames will work
without needing the environment variable set.
