You mean, when I install DJGPP on a FAT partition, then it works? Because I
really did this with all my DOS stuff, so I'm able to access it when I boot to
DOS as well. I didn't try to specifically use long filenames, but I unzipped
everything with long filenames and set LFN to yes. The compiler never
complained so I guess it works. :) But tomorrow I chek if it also can handle
LFN.

I am using NTFS but not on the partition my DJGPP stuff resides.
