Details, please!  Not only does v2.01 support LFN, it supports them much 
better than v2.0.  Please describe exactly what you see with v2.01 and 
with v2.0.  Since you obviously have the sources, the best thing to do 
would be to step through some file-related library function with a 
debugger and see whether the _USE_LFN macro returns 1 on Windows 95, as 
it should.  

If the sources of UAE call _USE_LFN themselves, please note that its 
definition was moved from <libc/dosio.h> to <fcntl.h>.  Also note that 
you should recompile all the sources, not just relink them with the new 
library, to get all your code in sync with the new library.

Btw, did you try to set LFN=y in the environment?  If so, did it help?
