No, I had the same problems with long filenames first (I installed
DJGPP from Windows).

Read 22.19 in the FAQ 

	"How to set up a Dual DOS/Windows installation"

It works great for me.
BTW, I thought it might be faster to compile programs from plain DOS,
as I have only 20MB on my 486-DX2/66.
But to my surprise the compilation was faster in a windows DOS-Box.
When I loaded smartdrv in plain DOS the times were nearly equal, so I
guess the DPMI and the HD cache made the difference first!?
