You can either turn off LFNs when compiling code which expects truncations
(ie SET LFN=N) or use the command line rename command to put the name
as expected.  There is a neat registry setting which does truncation without
the ~1 crap which allows you to run with LFNs on or off, but I don't
remember the details off hand (I will have to put it in the docs).

If someone would make a nice .BAT file with all the renames for W95 it would
be nice.
