I see. Perhaps another possibility would be to create a hardlink
and then delete the old file. You couldn't use the CreateHardLink()
function, since it has the same case problems (and is NT5+ only),
but there are other ways (http://www.mvps.org/win32/ntfs/lnw.html,
for example--I think U/Win does something similar). You can always
fall back on the copy/delete mechanism, which appears to be there
for Win95 anyway.
