   I found that make in your djgpp200 distribution still truncates
   file names to 8.3 when it is running on win95.

   Also some of the other utilities are not completely using long 
   filenames (at least "ar" has a problem). Did n't you compile
   all the modules with the newest distribution?

Put this in your autoexec.bat:

SET LFN=Y

This will enable long file name handling in DJGPP V2 programs.  The default is
disabled.
