   I use VMWare under Linux to run DOS Compilers (installed Windows 2000 in a   
   virtual machine).  To access the source code from either systems I had room   
   on ext2, FAT32 and HPFS volumes (there is a Warp FP ~11 on that machine,   
   too).  The only possible way to NOT collide with case problems in filenames   
   was to place the shared folders on a HPFS volume.  Those DOS compilers   
   open/create files in any case they want and it even changes between   
   compiler runs!   
      
   So, consider using HPFS for shared data.  I had no problems using the volume   
   from OS/2 afterwards (even using HPFS386).
