Thanks, I will look at this more closely.

Sure, there's even a TSR that already does that (the FAQ mentions it in 
section 3.3).  I thought you were asking about the Windows code which 
supports LFN.  That part isn't possible in DOS mode.

Btw, currently, none of the several available TSRs that support LFN in 
DOS are good enough to run all DJGPP ports of GNU tools.  Seems like some 
subtle aspects of the LFN support are not yet up to their specs.
