DOSLFN 0.41 (Announce)

Hello,

A few days ago, Jason Hood released DOSLFN v0.41:

Version 0.41 (12/2011)
- invalidate the sector after getting a short name (fixes DIR after COPY)
- fixed creating a short name (courtesy of Japheth)
- prevent upcasing DBCS trail bytes
* stop using the FASTOPEN cache (but may be recompiled with)
* reduced .com size (by better definition of the standard calls)
+ use XMS to store DBCS code pages
+ added cp860uni.tbl (Portuguese)

Fantastic!
I am happy that DOSLFN is still alive! Good LFN driver is stil more often needed, especially for ports from other operating systems.
I hope that in future release will be added this feature:

	> Fantastic! > I am happy that DOSLFN is still alive! Yes, definitely good to see this update! However, it looks like Jason is looking for a new maintainer. From his DOSLFN page at http://adoxa.110mb.com/doslfn/index.html: `A new developer is needed. Interested?` - Doug B.
