Bad news: it seems to be totally broken used in conjuction with DJGPP
programs. I booted a floppy with MSDOZE and ran LFN.EXE. "ls -altr"
reports some ENOENTs and only show three files of many (~25).

Good news: it almost compiles with CVS version of djasm. You only have
to change two lines in lfn_file.inc, "shrdd" -> "dshr".


Right,
