Purpose of this script is explained on its beginning. Maybe it is useful for somebody.

; AutoIt script enhancing 16-bit applications for long file name usage. 

; This script adds 2 Buttons 'LFN Open' and 'LFN SaveAs' to a 16-bit application main window. 
; These buttons open dialogs for entering or selecting LongFileNames and type the corresponding ShortFileNames into the respective applications dialogs.

; The script or its compiled Exe must be present in the applications directory
; Working directory in link to compiled EXE must be set to appl. data files directory
