As long as the user on the single TOS machine can set environment
variables UNIXMODE /can/ be used.  The UNIXMODE kludge is a 
MiNTlib feature, not a MiNT feature.

Anyway, as far as I remember the MiNTlib sources the library only
implements a small subset of the UNIXMODE features.  I think
it is only the "r" flag (set root directory to ...) and the
slash flag (accept slash as path separator).  The rest gets
ignored.

I agree if you make that dependend of the UNIXMODE envariable.
If UNIXMODE doesn't say anything about filename conversion
I would leave the names untouched.
