- LFN - C code to bring long filenames to
- 16-bit applications. Microsoft's Windows 95
- implements a nifty way to store long
- filenames on FAT volumes, and with this
- comes a slew of other improvements to the
- filesystem (ie, filespecs containing more
- than 1 wildcard). However, only 32-bit
- applications automatically benefit from
- these improvements. The LFN module in this
- package attempts to remedy this by serving
- as a plug-in replacement for the dos.h
- you're probably already using, and providing
- LFN support to 16-bit applications with
- little more than a recompile. Programs built
- with the LFN module will continue to work as
- always under 16- bit Windows, but under
- Windows 95 will suddenly be able to see long
- filenames.
