It s in:
http://www.caldera.uk/dos/download/lfnb1c.exe
(The 1a version, which also runs with 4DOS if DPMS is installed, can be
found at the same location: lfnb1a.exe.) You can also find these and everything else via my private pages at
http://www.rhrz.uni-bonn.de/~ uzs180/opendeng.html
However, in the meantime I have been said, 1C did not run with COD 7.02
due to the changed CP/M-BDOS kernel version 73h of 7.02 (NWDOS 7
and COD 7.01 had 72h). Despite other improvements the next version of LONGNAME will solve this limitation (and also the 4DOS-DPMS problem).
Until than, a note for the hard core people: At your own risk you can also change the BDOS kernel version temporarily back to 72h. You will find it at offset +0Ah in the IBMDOS.COM file. But beware, this may hang up the new
SHARE and may be other tools, too.
