</div>the above 3 don't fit into DOS's 8.3 filename restriction, so<br>
all get stored as PROJ_I~1 etc. with the real name stored<br>
elsewhere. VAR and WIND are less then 8 letters so just get<br>
stored as normal DOS names, which are case insensitive. If you<br>
look in the man page for 'mount' I think you will find a few<br>
options (-o ...) for choosing how to deal with uppercase letters<br>
while visiting fat-land.<br>
