Yes. And this shouldn't be a problem if the file names are unique in
those 8.3 characters.

1. I don't see why not continue having 8.3 clean sources when we have
that.

2. Extract in WINDOZE, reboot to DOS and try to compile. Won't work
unless you play with the registry before extracting.

3. If we do use LFNs, sooner or later somebody is going to mess it up.


Right,
