-: That's true, but even "Program Files -> ProgFiles" will not work, I 
-: think.  Or will it?

Currently, "Program Files -> ProgFiles" cannot succeed with djtar; scanf
will see three arguments instead of two unless we introduce (e.g.) a tab-
delimited format.

But, if someone has a file "Program Files", then they are LFN-ok and
don't need djtar.  Use GNU tar and rename files after extraction.

(Is there any way to rename "Program Files" to ProgFiles during a GNU
tar extraction?  I think -T is only to give of list of existing filenames
to put into the archive....)
