I'm most grateful for that, never having heard of case insensitive, case
preserving file systems before. My problem started with a program in Ruby that
didn't work as I expected. Gradually I simplified things till I reached the
example I presented. The files I am using are essentially CSV files and I was
using column names in the file name with uppercase to show the column on which
things were sorted.
No reply needed.
