I'm not sure. I thought that too, at first, but then I checked out the
command.com that comes with WinXP. It supports long filenames, yet it runs
under the 16 bit compatibility layer of WinXP, so it's supposedly not a
real Win32 application. But it might not run under DOS either -- or maybe
it does...
