hi, I've read the faq and didn't find anything on this particular problem.

For some reason all paths specified on the command line of my program must be
in the longfi~1.ext form instead of the longfilename.ext form.. even when the
file is enclosed in the specified double quotes.. is there some switch I need
to compile with in order for my program to recognize long filenames?  Does the
LFN environment variable have anything to do with this aspect of long
filenames?  Any info would be appreciated.
