Thanks for the answer, but it is not completely satisfying me.
LFN is not implemented the oldway: MSDOS software interrupt but...
Long filename support IS of course included in the WIN32-API, described
fairly well AND accesible from terminal applications. Perhaps this API 
is not applied in DJGPP as yet, but maybe someone implemented a 
function table or some other work around hopefully?
