I can't think of any at the moment.

That would be great.
The hard part of all this, as you've probably noticed,
is gathering full and correct interrupt information, and testing
the interrupts on all flavors of DOS. There's no point in
improving the LFN support on one or two flavors of DOS,
only to make it impossible to even open a file on
some other flavor. At the moment, I can open any
existing long filename on all flavors of DOS that support LFN.
I find it hard to justify spending a lot of time researching additional
support, just for DOS. But if you give me well-tested code I'll try to
add it to ex.exe.
