The way to notify the system that your app can cope with long filenames is 
rather obscure, but what you need to do is add the NEWFILES keyword to your
.def file.  Here is a sample def file:

NAME LONGAPP NEWFILES
DESCRIPTION 'App that deals with HPFS file names'

Basically this just sets a bit in your exehdr, and if you have the markexe
utility you can set this bit on any exe you want with the command:

markexe lfns appname.exe

(Caution: if the app doesn't really deal with long filenames this will 
probably cause some undesired effects, but it usually doesn't hurt too much
to experiment.)
