Ok, over the weekend I was toying with adding LFN support to dosemu.
I admit I've been "out of the loop" for a while, but I have a
question:

What's the best way to tell djgpp programs that *one* drive supports
LFNs and the others don't?  The TSR I'm working on doesn't support
changing drives at the command.com prompt (command.com doesn't use the
"published" API), so I have to do it inside bash, so bash has already
checked the "default" non-lfn drive.  It also seems to try the LFN api
over and over again, even after checking and seeing that LFNs aren't
supported, depending on how I tell it that the default drive doesn't
support LFNs.

Of course, this is with the original 2.03...

And is it safe to tell djgpp that a drive is case sensitive and case
preserving, or do we assume otherwise?
