Eventually all DJGPP V2 programs will support long file names if enabled.
I am working on getting this all sorted out, but I am currently extremely
time limited.  I expect there will be a CRT0 flag to enable/disable this
support (which should be default?...).  I think beta 3 has almost all the
routines implmented except findfirst/findnext (which are on my box but need
some work).  There is also some work to be done in disabling forced lower
case translation, and implmenting the various creation/modifcation/accessed
dates.  For the knowledgable with Win95, hack on it a bit and if you find
bugs let me know.
