0.82pl3 "stable" (Eric Auer's favorite) doesn't support LFNs, but current 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap does (download link). I'm not saying it's perfect, but do check it out: LFNFOR, DIR /LFN, etc. (unless you have other reasons?). You could also try 4DOS, which supports LFN (although you may have to set the .INI value, I forget exactly, "Win95LFN=yes" or something like that).
