Hi guys! (long time reader, first time poster).

This may or may not be related, but LFN entries, IIRC, should have all 3 of
the the Volume, System and Hidden attributes set, since this is how Windoze
hides LFN entries in the FAT from old DOS apps (DOS doesn't expect the combo
of V, S & H, and thus never displays them in file listings, effectively hiding
the LFN entries). Perhaps the LFN API can't find the LFN entries since only
the Volume bit is set?

Sorry to sound intimidating, but I must re-iterate Mr. Zaretskii's question
about where you are running DJGPP. Is it a DOS box (ie: You can Alt-TAB to
other apps while running DJGPP), or DOS mode (ie: Windoze "shut's down" into
dos mode)? Try Alt-TABing while running DJGPP. If you can't do it, you are in
dos mode.

The directory listing you posted earlier resembles a DOS mode listing, due to
the lack of the LFN info on the right.

Good luck!
