- You mean the IDE itself, right? For all your project files, etc.?

- Well, sorry, not possible. Borland C++ 4.0 is a Windows 3.1 application
- and will only *ever* be able to use DOS-style 8.3 names.
-
- Borland C++ 5.0, shipping any day now, in a full-featured Win32 program
- designed for Windows 95 and NT. It supports long file names for
- everything. Other development tools available for Windows 95, etc. also
- obviously support LFNs.
