Yeah, this seems reasonable. On the other hand I kind of want it
to "look more like dosfrotz" in general since I'd like people to
be able to say "use winfrotz" instead of "use winfrotz, oh but
use dosfrotz for Photopia, Varicella, etc."  So getting it to
look *like* dosfrotz, instead of just being readable, seemed
the better goal.

But I could be wrong.
