When sharing files to/from a Windows system it is VERY important...
But for pure DOS work I avoid it as much as possible
BTW, there is NDN navigator that supports it

In my opinion, the only advantage is that long file names are more
descriptive than 8.3 but that being said, I'm old and used to coming
up with short but descriptive names, so I'm not really bothered
one way or the other.

Hi listers:
I’m just curious about how you all feel about the use of lfn in
FreeDOS (or any real DOS).
I notice that the lfn option is rem’d out in the fdauto.bat file
by default, so it would appear that, while support seems to be
there, the feelings of the developers are leaning toward not using
it unless it’s necessary.
If I remember correctly, there are at least 2 DOS tsr’s that deal
with enabling long filename support.
I’m curious about what your feelings about lfn are. Do you keep
lfn turned on, or off? If so, why?
Thanks!
