doesn't produce 16 bit code. Besides, I do a hell of a lot of 16 bit DOS
work under 95 and don't have any real problems other than the usual 95
hassles.

But I thought the announce said that it was compiled with DJGPP v2.x? DJGPP
compiled DOS apps *do* support long file names.

Not if you want to work in text mode.
