Type "SET LFN=Y" from your DOS command line, or place that command in
your autoexec.bat. This enables LFN support in DJGPP programs when
running under Win95 or from a Win95 DOS shell. To make the setting
permanent, edit the line in 'djgpp.env' that reads:
+LFN=N
to say:
+LFN=Y
If no LFN variable is present, DJGPP programs will assume "LFN=Y".
