> What about OS/2 (HPFS) long file names?  Can a DOS program get at those?

I don't know of any way to do this.  If someone wrote a device driver for
OS/2 DOS sessions which would handle the LFN API, it would work work with
the V2 LFN support code.  I have considered writting a DOS TSR which would
provide this in the absence of Win95, but don't hold your breath.
