Re: cvs commit: jakarta-ant/src/testcases/org/apache/tools/ant/types PathTest.java

It is similar to "dos-based" in its path and classpath separations, but the long volume names and subtleties in whether or not a path name should be specified with java commands are different.  So, I don't know if you can generally lump us in the "dos-based" category, since this assumption breaks down in some places.  Maybe I am misunderstanding where you are going to make this distinction, and it will turn out to be fine.

I'll adapt to that, please take a look at my commit that should happen
sometime today.

So Os.java will consider it DOS based (whatever that means in detail)
- is this a good assumption or should the code specifcally exclude
NetWare.  Given your description, we probably better say netware is
nor DOS-based.

The only places where Ant uses "dos based" is whether executables need
an .exe extension or not, so I guess we are better of by not throwing
NetWare into this group.
