Ah! _MUCH_ better! ;-)   Please do whatever you can to make those
shared libraries as compatible as possible with those for Magic.

However, I still think UNIXMODE should be fixed to operate as it
says it should, since GEMDOS case-conversion rules apply everywhere.

I have /brUs._ in mine, which should replace the extra dots with
underscores, but it doesn't.  It should eventually be upgraded to 
also replace spaces with underscores too.

UNIXMODE is filesystem-independant, so I think that fixing this
first might help a _lot_ on other aspects also, not just case
conversion to/from DOS/TOS media.
