My suggestion is quite different.
Use lfndos.exe or even better try to implement a file cache in that program
(the sources of lfndos is available and without the cache the program is
rather slow) That original DOS was capable only to work with 8+3 filenames
should not prevent us from expanding it to work with long filenames (using
for example int 21h AX=71xxh interface)

Correct me if this idea is wrong
