It might make sense to make the default depend on the fs type. For
example, make FAT32 use "winnt" and FAT12/16 use "mixed". That would
give maximum interoperability I think.

I'm presuming that the versions of win95 that supported FAT32 also
supported the mixed case bits, though I haven't tested that.

Cheers, Tridge
