as entertaining as this is, is isn't true for dos. there
are no device files on dos in *any* directory. they
are a fiction of the executive. now the effect may
be the same if you're using command.com, but
explorer should be able to deal with that file name.

Most certainly not the case -- in explorer (even on Windows 7), File
-> New -> Text Document, then try to name it 'con' and you get a
dialog box with "The specified device name is invalid."
There are actual real reasons we hate DOS and Windows, remember?
