As far as I recall, there was a MS DOS release somewhere around v6.something (which coincided with the release of win95) that included VFAT support in the "DOS kernel" (if you can call it that.) And I'm pretty sure that FreeDOS has supported VFAT for a very long time. Thus, if you are on a DOS system of new enough vintage to contain VFAT support, then you can indeed use long file names, otherwise they will be truncated. But that's just from memory, I certainly haven't touched DJGPP or a MS DOS system in ages. I do remember using a long filename-capable MS DOS at some point, though.
