Subject: Re: Conversion of Unix to DOS file names

If they were uploaded, they would be in pub/msdos/djgpp/pub somewhere.
Note that the djtarx program in djgpp 1.11 does some conversions
automatically (*.info-* to *.i*, for example) and has always allowed
you to specify new names for conflicting files as they're being
untarred.

The FSF distributes a program called "doschk" (latest version is
doschk-1.1.tar.gz).  This program can be used in a Unix area to
identify potential conflicts when those sources are moved to DOS, so
that you can fix the names before tarring them together.  If you
encounter a dos-hostile source distribution, please mention this
program to the distribution's maintainers and *politely* ask them to
consider running it on their sources.  It also checks for SYSV
14-character limit conflicts.
