I don't think that's necessary for the GEMDOS-calls, as their
functionality is fully covered by MiNTlib itself. But it would make
sense for the AES- and VDI-calls where paths and filenames are involved,
like shel_write.

Yes, you can use unix2dos/dos2unix to convert the paths but wrappers
around these AES-calls would be a more elegant solution I think.

Thanks. IIRC it's not the first time the DOS drive/path-model has caused
confusion. Programmers don't deal with this anymore, when you develop
for Windows today these things are so well hidden you never see them.
