AFAIK, the only function in the DJGPP library which uses "true names" is
`stat', and it knows how to do that in a way that doesn't conflict with
Novell.  So I don't think true names are the reason, unless JPTUI calls
`_truename' or its equivalent directly (which I don't see why it should 
need to).
