Is this
     a) he doesn't have DOS 7.0 with LFN support?
or b) he doesn't need LFN support?

I suspect if DJGPP was installed when Win95 was working
that this is an LFN installation.

Also if he has copied his new installation that will be LFN too

Prashant, beware XCOPY will still truncate to 8.3. unless
there's a switch I don't know.
