Longname.e only works on the DOS platform, it performs a normal open under
Win32 and Linux, as Euphoria already handles long filenames.  If you are
running the DOS32 platform, wrappers of CreateFile won't work as ex.exe
can't link to dll's.

There could be two reasons longname doesn't work under NT.

1. The DOS interrupt used for version checking gives a different value than
for Win9x,
causing NT's DOS to be mistaken for a pre-7 version (long file names not
allowed).

2. The system("echo.  . . . statement does't work correctly under NT.

I'm attaching a modification of longname.e which comments out the version
checking
in the hopes that it will solve the problem.
