The latter of course - it uses HX's Win32 emulation. For FAR in DOS, see

DOSLFN just implements the LFN API introduced with Windows 95. To support LFNs, use DOS int 21h, AX=716Ch to create/open files and fall back to the standard method if LFN isn't installed ( the DOS int returns ax=7100h then ).
