I'm confused.  Please post at least a couple of examples of files which
2.01 cannot find, the names they are looked for in 2.01 and the names used
in v2.0 for those files.  Maybe then I could guess what is your problem.

AFAIK, both v2.0 and v2.01 support long file names on Windows 95, only 
v2.0 had some subtle bugs in that support.  SO what worked for you in 
v2.0 should continue to work in v2.01.

One thing to try is to set LFN=y in the environment and see if your 
problems go away.

Definitely NOT true.  v2.01 works in both Windows 95 and NT.

AFAIK, there is no problem to fix here.

The list of improvements is not short.  The djdev201.zip archive includes 
the list of changes in its Knowledge Base.  From the DOS prompt type 
"info kb 'What Changed' Changes" and read there.
