- In fact, i have written such a thing, based on _unx2dos in the
- GNUlibs. I have once planned to distribute it, but since we have
- MinixFS, there is no need any more, i think. Anyway, i'm still using
- it as a replacement for tosfs in MiNT.

- Btw., why not just using __MINT__ as a compiler switch, it is
- predefined by the MiNTlibs and independent of the compiler. For
- compiler dependent code we can use atarist for GCC, ??? for PureC, and
- so on.
