Really? I don't think naive DOS applications can see the long filenames, 
what they really see is something like "longfi~1" which is not my idea of 
support. I don't even think DJGPP does, which forces us to disable the 
LFN support with SET LFN=N. If you've set it up differently, couldn't you 
drop me a hint? the GCC-Win32 port seems a lot better in this regard, it 
even supports the ln command (the program handles the .LNK kludge 
transparently).
