Re: Filesystem compatability ...



Well runtime support is best added to the program, not the library. For example
two filenames would be kept, one for DOS 8+3 and another when no restrictions
are present. If MiNT is not running then you'll only get 8+3 anyway. 
	I'll give a brief example of binary configuration in a while; this
is perhaps the best solution for things like .shellrc shell.rc, where the
binary gets it's values edited. This has the advantage that source need not
be distributed and saves clogging up the environment with filenames which
may only be used by one or two programs.
