	-lstdcxx

- DJGPP natively supports LFNs under Win95 (great!!). But some functions still
work with short names, i.e. findfirst() & findnext() [or am I mistaken here?].
I tried to use the bare DOS INT21/71xx interrupts to get this functionality.
However, int86() does not translate pointers correctly for the 71xx
functions....

	Sort-of, but this is addressed in the FAQ.

> - The FAQs mention that there are no INT21/71xx functions under WinNT so LFNs are not supported. Is there a way to access NT long filenames thru some other sort of DOS interrupt?

	No.  But there are other ways.  Somebody has made something to read NT LFN's,
it has been mentioned here, and probably will be again.
