This is not necessary: the DJGPP startup code queries the OS about
support for long file names, and if that support is absent, all
library functions are automatically switched to not use the LFN-aware
calls, even if DJGPP.ENV says LFN=y.  So you don't need two copies of
DJGPP.ENV.

The problem of the original poster is most probably with numeric
tails.  Section 22.18 of the FAQ explains how to set up a dual
DOS/Windows system.
