Gene,

Hi. Can I trouble you to put the word out on the mailing groups that we
have a Beta release available for Long File Name support under OpenDOS. 

It is Win95 compatible at both the API and physical disk levels. It
supports all Int 21h 71xx long name extensions. 

Unzip the file http://www.caldera.co.uk/dos/download/lfnb1.exe and follow
the readme instructions. Basically you load the TSR and then use the new
COMMAND.COM. The new COMMAND.COM can also be used as a Win95 DOS box shell
in place of the MS-DOS prompt. 

BEWARE THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE!!!!!!!!

Other utilities are being converted to long name support now and will be
added to the beta later. 

Roger
