1.2 or 1.3 on NetWare 5.1(though only one at a time), and 1.3 on NetWare 6.

I have mainly been concentrating on 1.3, and in fact have some misgivings about ant \
working well on 1.2 on NetWare, due to some 1.2 bugs.  With the latest releases of \
the 1.2 JVM I think I at least got past all system crashes, but might have a long \
ways to go.

Anyway, it is at least 1.2.

Is NetWare's Java JDK1.1 or JDK1.2?

If it is 1.2 then maybe we could us (by reflection) File.listRoots() and in that way \
have a more rubust management of valid file names.

Yeah, I noticed your extensive changes.  I'll review them as to NetWare.  It seems \
like there was an env thing in their somewhere also, that needed to be cleared up for \
NetWare.  "env" is a system console command in netware, so can be executed without \
any path at all.  Also, java and javadoc are in the same boat.  A "java" loadable \
module actually exists somewhere in the default search path in a well known \
location(sys:/java/bin), but once loaded it is a command line extension, so it, \
javac, and javadoc do not need path information either.

I'll have to look at what happens if NetWare is treated as part of the "DOS" family.  \
Typically on NetWare, the following things affect paths: 1) We do not care if you use \
"/", or "\"  for path separators 2) We use ";" (semi-colon) for classpath separators
3) We have something similar to drive letters, volume names, which can be up to 40 \
characters large, followed by a colon.  data:\   (or data:/)  for example. 4) if you \
do not specify a volume name, (/usr/bin), NetWare assumes the sytem volume, \
"SYS:/usr/bin"

Hopefully I'll get some time to look into this more in depth later today.

I haven't changed all toLowerCase calls as some seem to better remain
locale dependent (comparing filenames in PathConvert) or I am not
familar enough with them (Manifest).

A special heads up for Jeff Tulley, I don't know whether Netware will
be considered a part of the dos family by the <os> condition - if so
we may need to change Javadoc and CommandlineJava where the code adds
the extension .exe to either javadoc or java.
