Well, if it is, then it's less of a problem, but I still think we
shouldn't have a private version of doschk in our tree.

There's a DJGPP port in v2apps/dosck11b.zip.

However, doschk is not a DJGPP program, you can find it on GNU/Linux
as well, and there's a native Windows port (that's what I'm using).

No, I don't know.  But see below: it looks like it's not the same
program.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/doschk-1.1.tar.gz

That doesn't seem to be the doschk I have here.  With my version, I
get this:

etc., you get the idea.  This does not show files from separate
directories.
