It also means that you can't see long filenames from NT, but that you can from Win95. The Win95 "DOS" portion identifies itself as DOS 7.0 and handles the DPMI INT mumble that gets LFN information. The NT "DOS" stuff IDs as DOS 5.5 (I think) and doesn't handle that DPMI interrupt. I've run into this problem trying to migrate a GNUmake-based build environment from Win95 to NT (3.51 and 4.0). If anyone knows otherwise, I'd like to hear about it...
