Extending the UNIX pathname syntax

[Tanner Andrews]

Yes, your (and our northern branch's) intel boxes do accept the funny-
looking stuff with a pathname like "/dev/dvf0:foobar.exe".  It should
be noted, however, that this is done by having the "dos___" commands
parse the filename specially.  There is NO support for this in the op
system, or even in any other progs besides the special ms-dos disk
processing progs.

To save a little typing, you might define the following entry in the
file /etc/default/msdos (if it does not exist):
	A=/dev/dvf0
	B=/dev/dzf0
Then, when you want to access ms-dos disks, you may say "dos___ A:/foo"
instead of "dos___ /dev/dvf0:/foo".  Case matters in the "A:..." syntax.
