It might be a good idea to wait until DJGPP V2 supports long file 
names as well. I gather that they're working on it.

Having Windows support HFV volumes sounds like a good idea though. It 
would only be practical with the NT or 95 installable file systems, 
but it would make a Win95 port of Executor a lot easier.

Of course DJGPP support for Win32 would make that easier too, something
else that I gather that they are working on (I hope that's reliable).
