If you are still interested in LFN support in vDos -- just let you know that my current vDos-lfn (version 2015.11.01) has much better LFN support now than the one posted earlier in this thread. The vDos-lfn 2015.11.01 binary is available from the URL: http://bit.ly/1PtW6uC

You can read the vDos-lfn.txt file included in the package for more information.
