Nope...doesn't work.  I was specifically doing all that stuff - same system, 
same source files, same DJGPP files, dual booting between Win95 & NT4 - it 
didn't work.  It does a DPMI INT 21h (in a _use_lfn.c file) to check for 
availability of LFN handling (and I believe that test fails for NT4).

True, but I could still use a GNU make that works the same under Win95 & NT4 
and understands my long filenames...I haven't tried my MSVC-build of the 
GNU-distributed make-3.75.tar.gz yet, but will eventually.  Next step after 
that might be the cygnus gnu-win32 environment, but that involves more changes 
to my makefiles, I think, to get their forward-slashed paths...but this is 
getting a bit off topic for this list...
