NT doesn't include the LFN API that DJGPP uses to get long file names.  
So you cannot have long filenames on NT from DJGPP programs, period.  
Complain to Bill Gates and demand that they include the LFN API for DOS 
programs in their NT DOS box.

All you get to see from the DJGPP programs on NT is the 8+3 aliases of 
the long names.
