Without any intention of being picky, i'd like to say that DJGPP tools are not 16-bit programs; they're 32-bit, protected-mode DOS programs. That's possible due to DPMI (DOS Protect Mode Interface. Or so i guess :-) Concerning the use of long filenames, it is possible under Win95 due to the use of Win95's LFN API, activated with the line +LFN=y in the file DJGPP.ENV, a configuration place for DJGPP software. Concerning your BASH porting project, how are things going? I'd like to help in something, if that's possible.
