I am using Windows/NT SP4. My program works fine for short filenames
in Windows/NT DOS but not for LFNs. In the FAQ of DJGPP web site
there is a topic "Will it work under Windows/NT?" I noticed the
following:

  "Note that long filename API ... for DOS box is not supported by current
   version of Windows/NT, so you cannot have long filenames here
   from DJGPP programs..."

So I cannot use DJGPP for long filenames in Windows NT?

Thanks,
Pinliang
