Hi, this is not really a J question but I used a little J to confirm
something.

A recently purchased thumb drive showed me that there are apparently two
top-level directories with the same name:
   dir 'F:*'
+-------------------------+-------------------+-+---+------+
|System Volume Information|2023 3 29 17 13 44 |0|rw-|-hs-d-|
+-------------------------+-------------------+-+---+------+
|System Volume Information|2022 12 31 17 58 50|0|rw-|-hs-d-|
+-------------------------+-------------------+-+---+------+
   -:/&><"1|:dir 'F:*'
1 0 1 1 1

We see from the above that the names are identical.  I was unable to rename
either one so, with no way of distinguishing between them, I ended up
reformatting the drive.

This is under Windows 10.  Has anyone ever seen something like this?
