Inside the distributed patch or binary ZIP files. Ever downloaded them?

Apparently not much.

Yeah.

I still don't understand what you mean by "Renaming a file in a subdirectory switches to main". Did you delete dot and dotdot and then renaming a file in a subdirectory (using 21.56) switches back to the root in EDR-DOS?

There's good old SFN software ;-P

[3] fake no 21.71 support at all on unsupported subfunctions of EDR-DOS i.e. return CF unchanged, al=0. This might show less ingenious programmers that this function is not supported. (But could break other software.) I'm still of the opinion that you have to expect error code 0001h on LFN (sub)functions as well. It's just what MS-DOS would do if some (say, the SUBST-related) 21.71 functions but not all were supported.
