I remember seeing ads for the program; it was called "Long File Names" and came in a long, skinny box. It did enable LFNs under Windows 3.x, and even enabled LFNs for Windows 3.x software running under Windows 95. At least that's what the advertising said. I don't think it spread that widely; you may not be able to find a legit copy of the program. You may have to resort to posting a request on alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.old and/or alt.binaries.warez.windows31. Sorry I can't be of more help. -- I'm a MUGWump: My "MUG" is on the Mac side of the fence (since mid-2002), and my "Wump" is on the PC side (since 1989).
