G'day people!

I would like to report some anomalous behaviour observed whilst using
Caldera OpenDOS (that is, software behaving in a manner different to
expected).

I am a heavy user of XTGOLD for DOS, and thus manipulate
files/directories alot.  In all previous versions of DOS (DR/Novell, MS,
IBM) one could rename any (sub)directory.  Now, under OpenDOS, XTGOLD
comes back with 'Name already exists'.

I think I read somewhere that it does support win-95 long file names, so
I was just wondering if that had anything to do with it?!

So far, that is the only behavioural difference between Caldera OpenDOS
and Novell DOS that I have come across so far.

Regards
Joe
