Ok.  I accept that `disappeared' and `demise' were probably poorly
chosen words -- what I really meant was `diminished' and `phasing out'
respectively.  Indeed, I still have an MS-DOS box at home, although
it is rarely used today.

Regarding DJGPP, is the modern version still bound by 8.3 file name
constraints?  I understood that it had been upgraded to work with
Win2K, and therefore would have expected LFN support to have been
included.

Regards,
Keith.
