If I would do it (I won't), I would integrate it directly into the
kernel, without any TSR/interface/API/... hassles.
and then this must fit into the HMA/INIT group also.

The 12-16K estimate comes from looking at DOSLFN and LFNDOS. Both use
~16K code to implement LFN. integrate this into the kernel should
avoid some duplicate code, so I estimate it could be done in ~12K.

OK.
