I'm far from certain that a caseless filing system can ever hold two files whose names differ only in the case of one or more characters. If you try that with OS/9:, here's what happens: /dd/DEV/C : echo file >x.txt; cat x.txt; echo File-X >X.txt; cat x.txt file File-X /dd/DEV/C : In other words, the first echo wrote 'file' to x.txt. The second echo discovered that a file whose name matches X.txt already existed and so it overwrote the original file. This is exactly how I'd expect any case-agnostic filing system to work. Anything else would be quite confusing to use. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
