I have a task to perform where I must port over a UNIX based cross
development
environment to NT-4.0-SP4.   I require a ksh-like shell (delorie bash is
fine),
gnu-make (delorie-gnu-make is fine), and a relatively recent perl (delorie
perl is
fine).   I was originally pointed to CYGWIN,  which was looking good until
I
couldn't find a pre-built perl that world work.

I then found the delorie site and it was looking very good until I ran into
 the limitation
of no long-file-name support.

I searched through the email archives and found a reference to a
long-file-name TSR
for NT at the pentium compiler group.  I tried it; it worked for local
drives and crashed for
network drive; ... not good enough.

The delorie package looks great except for long-file-name support.  I will
even consider buying
software for NT to make sure I can have long-file-name support under NT.

Can anyone provide me with some pointers to how to solve my problem?

thanks.
