Hi,

Don't know why you are specifying the code page stuff
to DOSLFN, I use DOSLFN version 0.32o with no switches
(or sometimes the /~- switch) and it works fine with
M$-DOS 7.10. Note however, only internal commands like
COPY, DIR, REN recognize the LFN support. Other stuff
like XCOPY doesn't (external applications may or may
not recognize the available LFN support, depending on
what assumptions they make).

So that's M$-DOS 7.10. IIRC, DR-DOS 7.02/7.03 will also
work with DOSLFN. PC-DOS 7.10 doesn't. Not sure about
other versions of DOS.

Joe.
