Would it be feasible to insist that all plug-ins are installed with lower-case file/directory names on case-sensitive file systems? (And nothing else will be recognised.) Then the content of your config files can be completely case-insensitive and the code simply forces the names to lower-case when doing the actual file search/load or whatever? It's a simple rule - and I seem to remember it being a fairly common recommendation for various types of project in the past. -- Geoff Worboys Telesis Computing Pty Ltd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
