I *did* send my detailed reply to Junaid in a private mail.  Unfortunately,
he chose to post to the newsgroup his answer to me, which is at least
impolite.

I agree absolutely with what DJ and others said on this: if you find some
piece of code/docs in DJGPP which makes you unhappy, sit down and fix it.
It's really a small wonder that we agree on that issue: the above paradigm
is, after all, something we use in improving DJGPP day by day (or shall I
say ``night by night''? ;-).

And, of course, rename.c of the day has much more comments.  (What would you
expect from something I wrote?)

And that's all I would like to add to this thread.  Enough was said already,
including some uncalled-for sarcasm and explosive religious issues.  Let's
leave it at that and get to work/fun.  After all, even in Russia people don't
have to agree on everything anymore.
