I think I've asked some of these before without getting an answer. If
anybody knows please help...

1. Is it possible for OpenDOS (with longname tsr) to access long names
   or mixed case names from a netware server (how does Win95 do it?)

2. has anybody found that, running OpenDOS under Linux (using dosemu
   with the LREDIR facility), it is possible to get files that cannot
   be read (let alone written to).  Some programs return an error, but
   some hang (traced to simply a Turbo Pascal reset (file open) with
   the file mode 64 (shared read-only)).

3. Is there a workaround for the way running some OpenDOS utilities,
   such as edit, crash teh dos session within OS/2 Warp 4 (was sort of
   ok under Warp 3)?? This seems to be due to the font being redefined.

4. Does anybody else think it would be nice if Caldera had some sort of
   organisation to the project where people interested in contributing
   changes to the kernel knew who to contact, and knew who was already
   working on what??

Mark Aitchison.
