NAME
       doschk - checks filenames for SYSV and DOS compatibility

SYNOPSIS
       doschk filename ...

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  is  intended  as a utility to help software developers ensure that their source file names are distinguishable on MS-DOS and
       14-character SYSV platforms.  To perform this task, doschk reads a list of filenames and produces a report of all the conflicts that  would
       arise if the files were transferred to a MS-DOS or SYSV platform.

       To use this program, you must feed it a list of filenames in this format:

	    dir

	    dir/file1.ext

	    dir/file2.exe

	    dir/dir2

	    dir/dir2/file3.ext

       If  the	list does not include the directory-only lines (like dir/dir2) then their names will not be checked for uniqueness, else they will
       be.  Typical uses of this program are like these:

	    find . -print | doschk

	    tar tf file.tar | doschk

       If this program produces no output, then all your files are MS-DOS compatible.  Any output messages are designed to be self-explanatory and
       indicate cases where the files will not transfer to MS-DOS without problems.
