Mounting a volume that should support lfn, turning on lfn, setting DOS version
to 7.10, etc., didn't help.  DOSBOX-X seems pretty determined to write out
UPPERCASE 8.3 filenames to the host OS even when I use greater-than 8
characters.

I decided to switch one node back to dosemu and let it handle all the ftn
tossing events.  That, in the long run, is probably a lot less headache.  ;)

Thanks!
Mike
