A modified version of dosexec.c, but the modification makes no difference. I 
tested with a trivial program with 2.03 with LFN=Y and LFN=N. Note that a 
message will print in both cases, but the script will only run when LFN=Y.

doscript.c:
#include <process.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main()
{
  spawnl(P_WAIT, "script.sub", "script.sub", 0);
  if (errno)
    perror("script.sub");
  return 0;
}

script.sub:
#! /bin/sh

echo "ran script.sub"


It seems that when LFN=N only programs that end in .exe, .bat, .etc can be 
run.
