In my case, it's not so much that the file system is case sensitive, but that it is shared with OS's that treat it as case sensitive. The samba software running on our UNIX boxes can (and does) present the directories as case preserving (and insensitive), but when those same directories are accessed from UNIX systems, they ARE case sensitive. So, I want any filenames I mention for those directories to go through unchanged (no tolower()/toupper() loops waved over them). Since I have the source to all the relevant pieces, I was able to accomplish just that (or at least enough of it to satisfy ME...not necessarily a complete solution for someone who wants to support this in some end product, like DJGPP v2). -- Scott Blachowicz Ph: 206/283-8802x240 Mathsoft (Data Analysis Products Div) 1700 Westlake Ave N #500 scott AT statsci DOT com Seattle, WA USA 98109 Scott DOT Blachowicz AT seaslug DOT org
