No finer granularity; can't change an existing filesystem; can't specify directory-by-directory. I assume stat(), etc., accommodate the fs type. Samba is schizophrenic (but it may be Sun-peculiar). I can mount via Samba on Windows a Solaris-served filesystem having a directory with two files whose names differ only in case of characters. Exploder shows both. When I click on one, it's unpredictable (perhaps repeatable) which one actually opens. They could have done better. UTF-8 is very much becoming the mode; even on Windows. What is the semantic of case-insensitivity among files named, e.g. in Cyrillic UTF-8? It's pretty well defined, but is it implemented correctly? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
