MS-DOS special file names (eg: AUX) are not handled #7

Why is AUX: mentioned so many times in the README? AUX: is typically serial port, not just in msdos, but also on Amiga.

It’s because you can have a file named AUX (not AUX:) on Amiga and if you try and back that up onto windows it will fail as AUX is a reserved filename.
