No isn't enough. As I said I added it for development. I develope with LFN=N
because I use DOS 6.2 and Win 95 for that. So the best way to test a feature
with LFN=Y without any special change to my enviroment is just add --force-lfn
to the arguments passed to the program (that's in a RHIDE option).
Is just a development feature and, as I state, I don't know if somebody could
need it.

The patch was posted to the list some time ago. The editor is compiled with
djgpp v2.01 (not the 2.02 alpha) and as I don't apply any patch posted to the
list (just because I don't have the time to check each patch) I had it in my
hard disk, but not applied.
I think the patch is in the alpha. The patch is to make a second try with a
diferent CX (subservice?) value.
I think you (Eli) know about it, but I describe it for the rest: _truename from
2.01 fails under Win95 if you pass a full path qualified file name (LFN=Y). It
generated a big problem in the editor that was supposing that the buffer was
filled with the fixed path and not empty.
