Summary: Difference between dos_8x3 and dos-8x3

Details: While looking for another bug, I ran across the following in src/Lib/ and am wondering if it's correct as it struck me as wrong...

src/Lib/dos_8x3 
src/Lib/dos-8x3

Is there a difference between the two or is it just an artifact?

Comment:
It's a so-called "CVS turd". CVS won't let you delete directories. There once was a dos_8x3 directory but it was decided that the proper name was dos-8x3. The dos_8x3 directory is empty; when you use "cvs update -P" (-P stands for prune)empty directories will be deleted by CVS.
