Don't we need an additional variable `CasePreserving' then which is false on FAT but true on VFAT filesystems?
What would it be used for?
Even worse: This needn't be a constant for one OS but depends on the path you are accessing. A file on a FAT filesystem mounted under Linux has LFN=CaseSensitive=CasePreserving=false.
I really think there is no need to go into that level of details. Other Linux programs do not care for this, why should programs compiled with GPC be an exception?
On the occasion I would like to ask if anyone has successfully used DJGPP and Borland protected mode tools simultaneusly? Borland's DPMI host only supports 16-bit DPMI while DJGPP needs 32-bit, and CWSDPMI only supports 32-bit. [...]
Some time ago, I successfully called EMX 32-bit DPMI programs from BP 16-bit DPMI programs with RSX. I was not able to reproduce this for DJGPP, but maybe you can substitute EMX? (M$ in Their wisdom explicitely forbid 16-bit and 32-bit DPMI clients to coexist, but the EMX/RSX folks are proud of this "bug".;-)
Does EMX have a separate DPMI server (like CWSDPMI), or is it only useful for EMX programs (like Borland's DPMI16BI.OVL)?
GPC is not yet a suitable replacement (read: no Turbo Vision). Keep up the good work anyway!
The port of Free Vision to GPC is currently being worked on. Be welcome to join the project, so it will become usable sooner.
I cannot promise much due to lack of free time, but it's already been some time since I last inspected Free Vision. Is there a home page for it now?
