There is no getting away that Dos filesystem handling is different

I cannot create a file with the same name as a subdir under
Windows XP
on ntfs or fat32...

Maybe there's something I'm missing?
No, because in a Dos like filesystem, a direcory abcd will still
allow a
file abcd to be created. In other words, fileexists returns false
so the
file can be created.
As he mentioned above, that does not work for him. It also does not
work for me in MS Dos 6.22 and fat16 (running in an emulator, but I
doubt that changes anything for this sort of stuff):
