A) I'm not putting anyone or their work or the compiler down..it is great and
the zip picker is one of the best (working!) ideas I've ever seen, I merely
think having LFN=N by default is stupid, that's just an opinion.  The fact that
it's going to be changed I honestly think is an important step.

B) Don't take Usenet so personally...real life common courtesy doesn't exist
here; we don't pull our punches.  Not saying that's good, it's just the way it
is.
