No isn't enough. As I said I added it for development. I develope with LFN=N 
because I use DOS 6.2 and Win 95 for that. So the best way to test a feature 
with LFN=Y without any special change to my enviroment is just add --force-lfn 
to the arguments passed to the program (that's in a RHIDE option). 
Is just a development feature and, as I state, I don't know if somebody could 
need it.

The patch was posted to the list some time ago. The editor is compiled with 
djgpp v2.01 (not the 2.02 alpha) and as I don't apply any patch posted to the 
list (just because I don't have the time to check each patch) I had it in my 
hard disk, but not applied.
I think the patch is in the alpha. The patch is to make a second try with a 
diferent CX (subservice?) value.
I think you (Eli) know about it, but I describe it for the rest: _truename from 
2.01 fails under Win95 if you pass a full path qualified file name (LFN=Y). It 
generated a big problem in the editor that was supposing that the buffer was 
filled with the fixed path and not empty.
