Well, if the problem is that you yourself misspell the file's name, then simply don't do that ;-) > I find this strange since emacs on MS windows does not care about > letter-case in other places. It doesn't care about file names where it calls the Windows filesystem APIs, and in file-name completion. But if some Lisp code uses string comparison as a method to check for files' equality (because Emacs code is deeply rooted in the Posix world), then letter-case differences will cause false negatives. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
