I keep seeing it written that to use long filenames in a
Win95 DOS box one must set LFN=y. Not so. Win95, *including*
Win95 DOS boxes, uses long filenames *by default* so you
only need to define LFN *at all* if you *don't* want to use
them.

Of course, I might be missing something (like something
about LFN=n in djgpp.env maybe).
