Hi,

I'm happy to announce a new version of the long file name services for
Windows NT 4.0 that are based on NT-LFN by Andrew Crabtree. This version
(lfn004.zip) is much better than the previous one (lfn003.zip). Most notably
it is now possible to create lowercase named files, so for example RHIDE now
can correctly find its project files.

You can grab a copy of the newest version (lfn004.zip) from
http://www.cybertrails.com/~fys/longfile.htm (scroll at the bottom of the
page)
The new version is expected to appear on the page on Tuesday, I hope.

Some test have been performed and the results are in docs/results.txt file.
In short small and medium size packages from v2gnu djgpp directory complle
without problems. Unfortumately large packages due to problems with DPMI
under NT are so far difficult to build.

The complete source code of the package is provided as well for your
curiosity.

Have fun and please let me know if you find any errors when playing with
this package.
I don't  have much time to read c.o.m.djgpp regularry so I'd appreciate an
e-mail message should you find anything unusual.

Have fun
