More about f?stat() under DOS: it would be nice if they returned the S_IEXEC
bit when called on an executable (i.e., *.exe, *.com, *bat at least).  LS and
the like would really be happy then...  Also, if I'm correct, calling stat()
on a volume label fails (this was for Borland C++, and GO32 is compiled with
Borland compiler, right?).  (Borland's stat() also fails on root directories,
but that is already taken care of in libc.a)
