On the same Win 95 machine on the same bootup.

I am having a problem with findfirst/findnext and LFN. I am getting 8.3 names.
_USE_LFN returns 0.

I have LFN=y in djgpp.env.

What is realy puzzling me is that I recompiled and old program that also uses 
findfirst/findnext and *does* return LFN. 

IIRC I do not have to do anything specific to use LFN but to force 8.3 file 
names I do.

I am missing something here, any ideas.

Thanks Richard.
