Re: vDos-lfn is now officially vDosPlus!

Advantage: not having to worry whether you have to use a full pathname when
you are calling things vDos-related. I've already more than once found the
solution to a problem was to first CD to vDos's directory. You ace
programmers probably always use a fully qualified filespec, if that's the
right term, but we hackers don't like to.

I don't mean to be argumentative, just mentioning another viewpoint.

VDosPlus could be looked on as plug-in or extension to XyWrite. More
accurately, it's the reverse, which would argue for putting XyWrite into
the vDosPlus directory! Oh the ignominy.

A resounding nay! I see no advantage whatsoever. vDosPlus is a Windows
program; it belongs in its own directory.
