you can still access these "special" file names by prefixing your path
with \\?\
example:
C:\>echo Test > "\\?\C:\AUX"
C:\>dir "\\?\C:\AUX"
Volume in drive \\?\C: is SYS
Volume Serial Number is D48F-6BD6
Directory of \\?\C:
07.01.2011 00:19 7 AUX
1 File(s) 7 bytes
0 Dir(s) 0 bytes free
C:\>type "\\?\C:\AUX"
Test
C:\>

patch for drawterm should be trivial...

Under WIndows XP I cannot copy these files
sys\src\9\boot\aux.c
sys\src\cmd\con\con.c =)
and these directories
sys\src\cmd\con\
sys\src\cmd\aux\
from Plan 9 source tree, because Windows don't allow anyone create
directories or files with names "aux", "con".
*LOL*
