About Long File Names (LFN):  There are two ways to deal with this.  If
you unpack using Winzip or another LFN-aware program under Win95, then you
must compile under a Win95 DOS box with the `LFN' environment variable set
to `y' (this turns LFN support on in all the DJGPP-built programs).  If
you unpack under plain MS-DOS or with a non-LFN-aware tool, then file
names are truncated (you don't get the funny `~[0-9]' thing) and you can
compile either under plain MS-DOS or in a Win95 DOS box with `LFN' set to
`n'.  But you definitely cannot mix the two methods.
