  Hello.

||We have discovered that doing a `stat' of a nonexistent file always
||returns 0 under WinNT (in full screen mode), when it should of course
||return -1.  This is taking place on a normal FAT volume.
|
|    I use WinNT 3.51 on NTFS , and gets same result. It seems that
|    WinNT dose not support undocumented DOS call int 21h ax=6000h .

   Sorry It's my misunderstanding.
 
   I get ture cause. In WIN-NT3.51 (FAT and NTFS) following code always
   success. 

     __findfirst("anyfile", &ff_blk, FA_LABEL)

    ff_blk.ff_ftime and ff_blk.ff_fsize = 0
    ff_blk.ff_ftime==FA_LABEL
    even if set the right file name.


   So following code of stat.c always success.

  else if (!_is_remote_drive(drv_no) && !__findfirst(path, &ff_blk, FA_LABEL))

 
 I think it's a bug of WIN-NT
