   File Names   
   25 Nov 10 09:21:14   
   
   Hello, Ken...   
      
   I have one issue that needs to be considered: file names (at least in the   
   Windows/DOS versions) are always upshifted.   
      
   I'm not sure how this should be handled. Windows file names are    
   ase-insensitive (unless you use the Posix API), but *nix file names are   
   case-sensitive.   
      
   Preserving the case of the file name would mean that "file1" and "File1" are   
   two different files to a *nix system, but are the same file to a Windows   
   system.   
      
   At first blush I think that preserving the existing convention (always   
   upshift) is the best way to keep things straight.   
      
   Regards,
