You didn't say what did _get_dos_version report with zero and non-zero
arguments.  Did it say the same in both cases?

RBIL clearly says that what it calls ``MS-DOS 7.20 (Win98)'' supports
a function 43FFh of Int 21h which can be used to create a directory or
rename a file, like functions 39h and 56h do, but with a maximum path
length of 128 characters instead of 67.  Could people who have access
to various versions of Windows 98 please test whether 43FFh works on
their systems?  If they don't, I think wee need to stop using them in
the library.  These functions should be available on plain DOS, btw,
not only on Windows.
