my allfix is allfix/universal v5.13 running solely on the OS/2 side of my
main system... i don't know if it is LFN capable or not as none of my DOS
BBS stuff can see OS/2 LFNs due to the built-in separation of them from the
DOS side of the barrier...

i don't doubt that allfix has bugs... hell, most compilers have bugs that
are carried over into the binaries they generate ;)
