IMHO MiNT tcsh filename completion is not perfect: it works if the
filename doesn't exceed certain length (I don't know what is the border,
but I guess something about 32 chars) regardless of the filesystem. I
didn't research that more deeply, because I didn't care so much (I am
using tcsh all the time on any Unix system I have access to, to be exact).

I got an impression that I played for quite a long while with a VFAT drive
and the shell, and I didn't notice that the filename completin would be
broken. Well, perhaps I just didn't try that by some accident...

Hm?!
