Make currently DOSsifies all the filenames, so when yoy set LFN=y, it is
not impressed.  Therefore to make it work under Win95, I think you should
set NameNumericTail property in the Registry to 0 (see section 8.2 of the
FAQ for how to do this, if you don't know already).  If you have time to
test this and tell me if it actually works (I don't have access to Win95),
it'd be swell.
