For clarification: in a standard TOS/DOS root directory, there are no . or ..
entries. In a subdirectory, both exist, and Fsfirst/Fsnext(somedir\*.*) will
return both entries (first entry: . second entry: ..).
Some quick tests with a Fsfirst/Fsnext tester show that the GEMDOS drive on an
old Hatari (2.3.1) never returns the . or .. entries for subdirectories.
