It probably depends on how picky you want to be. As far as I know, even
NT will recognize a character device name without leaving \DEV\, even
though \DEV\ has been the "official" device prefix since DOS 2.0.

Probably it would be worth trying to create "aux.h" under XP and see
what happens. Unfortunately I don't have a 'doze system handy at the
moment.
