On Windows 9X this is automatic. Just set LFN=y in the environment, and
DJGPP will use long file names.
Windows NT doesn't support the special API which makes long file names
available for DOS programs, so DJGPP cannot see them. You might consider
trying the alpha version of Andrew Crabtree's LFN driver for NT. Look up
its URL in the DJGPP mail archives at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/, the announcement was posted
a few months ago.
