Even so, the source for the LFN functions (either from Caldera or from
within Linux) could be adapted, I would think, to compile and allow the
interface through DJGPP programs... I would help such a feat if I knew
enough about C++, and the theories and specs on the LFN format.  However,
I'll have to search the Internet, I thought that this type of effort had
already occured somewhere.
