Hi,
I have run a small test in MS-DOS 5.00:
1) Create a new directory 2) Create five files in it 3) Change the first character of the second filename to 0x00 with an editor 4) Do a DIR listing: only one file is seen Linux shows four files! 5) Create a new file 6) Do a DIR listing: there are five files
So MS-DOS 5.00 at least does stop when a 0x00 marker is found, but does not write new 0x00 markers when a 0x00 marker is overwritten.
Thanks, Frodo
