David,

Please let me know what you think about the version of LFN services for NT.
I'm working on a never release and I would like to know of any bugs found so
far.
This release on WWW contains at least two bugs manifesting as
1) sometimes ls -l just doesn't work
2) when creating a fie whose name is in lowercase a file in uppercase is
created instead.

These bugs have been fixed in the new version I'm working on. This version
hovewer uses 4 undocumented calls into NTVDM so I need some time to test it
thorougly out.

I'm also considering every possibilites to work around DPMI leakage by NTVDM
that makes it
annoying to process large makefiles.

I hope to have a newer relase by the end of Monday
