I hate to even mention it, but here goes:

Has anyone done, or thought about doing any work to make NetBSD support the
V-Fat filesystem in use by 95.  I know it's a horrible file system, but
occasionly I need to use 95, and It would be nice to use:
"/msdos/win95/Program Files/Netscape/Navigator/bookmark.htm"
instead of
"/msdos/win95/progra~1/Netscape/Naviga~1/bookmark.htm"

Is there any reason why this would be difficult to implement, the format in
the directory table looks fairly straight forward...

Thanks,
        Rick
