DOS ain't dead

lzip: Can't create output file (Users)

Hi,
I just wrote the help version of lzip and noticed that there is a problem with 8.3.
When I try lzip abcdefgh.123 I get an error message:
Can't create output file abcdefgh.123.lz

It only works when I activate doslfn.

Is there a workaround? Am I right, when I say that lzip is almost unusable for DOS?
