subject: LFNs in DJGPP

Not to disparage Auke's recent work on the subject, but for those of you
who use DJGPP, I'd just like to point out that VFAT's long file names are
already supported by the standard library. In other words, you can compile
DOS programs with DJGPP, using ANSI functions, and they'll automatically
make use of LFNs when running under Windows 9x.

I discovered this by accident; if it's documented anywhere, I couldn't
find it.

... I'm Quayle of Borg. Prepare to be assimulated.
