1. The 'v' attribute
The 'v' attribute stands for volume label. Win95+ uses a combination of =
"HRSV" hidden,system,read-only,volume label to denote entries involved =
in long file names. Since the dir() command returns long file names, I =
can't see where it would ever return a file containing the 'v' =
attribute.

This is only true for Win32. Running ex (dos32) under win95 - 98 will still
result in a dos-length names with opening, dir,
current_dir () if they work in the first place. (current-dir won't for me)
