Many thanks for pointing it out. I was completely unaware that Windows
was capable of case sensitive file naming. I must admit that my
entrenched views of Windows capabilities in this area make me a little
bit apprehensive of possible side-effects to turning this on. In your
experience, are there any?
I'm using it all the time and have no problems, but, still, Win32
applications have no idea what to do with 2 files only differing
by case. Best you keep directories with such files separate.
Of course, I will still try it anyway.
That's the spirit!
