Is it possible to create long files using Rhide and DJGPP.
Example, I have a C program that reads a text input, pares through it
line-by-line.
It then creates an output text file, that is named by certain data that is
parsed from the input file.
The program then writes out to this file nad closes it when finished.
The only problem is that its only creating an output named up to 8
characters, the DOS 8.3 filename limitation.

Any idead how to be able to create long file names?

Thanks,
-Martin
