On DOS, Euphoria does not fully support long file names (LFN).

Here is a page where you'll find lots of code that has been contributed
by Euphoria users. You might find that code collection useful anyway:
<http://rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm>

Among those contributions is one from me, that provides full LFN support
for Euphoria on DOS: <http://www.rapideuphoria.com/lfn.zip>
