I am running v2.0 of DJGPP on Windows NT v3.51.  I am trying to
get my software to write files with names longer than 8 characters
(w/o extension).  Although it appears from the documentation that
this is supported, I cannot get it to work.  Regardless of swithches,
like the LFN switch in the environment, my filenames are always
truncated to 8 characters.  Is this a feature?   For example:

  strcpy(filename, "0123456789.poo")
  input_file = fopen(filename, "w");

will create a file called

01234567.poo

Is this correct functionality?

HELP
