Actually i'm working on a patch to v2 to allow use of longfilenames.
I have a working open/create which allows reading and writing such files
(hopeffully not breaking under "normal" DOS)
I presently have troubles with findfirst/findnext.  I simply have too little
info.  The only ones i have are from `inter46' from Ralph Brown (THANKS!!).
Can someone give me pointers to more exhaustive info (or should i wait for
inter47 ???).

BTW: the long filename functions work in a DOS window, but they are NOT
supported in `DOS mode' (sigh!).

Best Regards
