Nah' that'll cause probs with other win95 stuff.

Now, I hadn't thought of that. Although that may cause probs with win95 if it 
expects certain files to be in a certain case.
I thought there may be a 4dos toggle switch to do this sort of thing, so that 
it displays as per previous versions running under DOS 6.22.

Now that's an idea.  Thanks Jasen.
