1) What's that "fix"? a TSR or something like that?
2) I think the problem is in the "fix". RHIDE doesn't make any funky thing with
names, just uses djgpp's libc. As djgpp's libc works very well under W9x I think
this "fix" behaves different than W9x LFN API and that's the source of the
problems.
I know the Windows Explorer does some very stupid things when displaying file
names, so perhaps Galazka's program is doing similar things. There are also some
processing in libc and perhaps it generates the problem, but again: it only
means the "fix" doesn't behave like Win9x.
