I would think that only the utilities that need to use protected mode, a DOS extender, or VCPI would be written using DJGPP or in 32-bit code...at the moment, I can't really think of a utility that would...perhaps maybe a task switcher written with a DOS extender that utilizes VCPI to multitask DOS applications...
LFN support, from what I noticed about Win95/98 was only available while in Windows, which is why I thought a 386 or higher was needed. If you booted safe mode Command prompt only or restarted to MS-DOS, you could not use the LFN (in the sense that you couldn't specify them on the command line) but the utilities that came with Win95/98 could preserve the filename. Since Microsoft has released Virtual PC for free on their site I already have DOS 6.22 loaded, I am downloading the FreeDOS 1.0 ISO and I am setting up a VM for Windows 95 (4.00.950) so that I can test somethings out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
