I have seen messages about how to use long filenames and read the documentation
and there is an environment variable one can use to use long filenames, namely
LFN=y.  Unfortunately this seems to only work for Windows 95.  Thus my question
is, "can one read long filenames on Windows NT systems"?  If not, will this be
supported in a future release?  And what about Windows 98 that just came out
this year?
