Not sure, and it is hard to tell what happened since the Freedos "dir"
command does not show long file names.

yes; yes

Well, I tried "mv" also, and "ls" shows the long name, but Latex still
reports that file as not found.

(Now I realise that I have not run "mktexlsr" after the renaming, so I
have to try that also.)

But are Latex packages with names longer than eigth chars (before the
dot) actually known to work, in any DOS environment?
