I don't like the idea of having a special filesystem just for DOS stuff on the server

Malvineous wrote:Like I said above, you do it the way Samba does. First file is FILE.TXT, second is FILE~1.TXT, third is FILE~2.TXT, etc. That problem has already been solved. Heck even DOSBox does it this way, but most people don't even notice because you never have files named like this anyway unless something has gone wrong.
DOSBox is open source, if it bothers you writing the code to handle names like this, just copy it from DOSBox.
