Re[3]: name casing

WILL,

Yes, I had a problem with Windows being able to pass the arguments as upper-case
only when doing a "File-Run..." thing on a highlighted file in File Manager.

Are you suggesting with your last sentence that the parser should ignore the
case all together?

Arpad,

I thought you had experienced a problem putting ibis_chk under Windows because
Windows read all file names as upper case. We wanted case insensitivity so
regardless of how a brain-dead operating system messed with characters, the file
could still be parsed. The spec says use lower case names so we wouldn't have
the situation Paul describes, where two different files differ only in their
case, making them OS-dependent. In my opinion, all file names should be treated
as if they were all lower case, regardless of how they actually appear in the
file system to the OS.
