lingo-l Using baFileExists from buddyAPI
Hi all... In the buddyAPI method, baFileExists(c:\thisIsThePath.doc), are there any circumstances where the path has to be case sensitive?

Your example is win-based, I'd say: no for that environment. However, http://www.mods.com.au/budapi/ (full function list) says the call is supported under MacOs, too. Under macOsX it is possible to configure the OS to be unixishly case sensitive. (search macosxhints.com for the details) I didn't test it nor did I take a look at that Version 1.4 OSX Beta 3 of budApi (url above, beta future versions) - but if anywhere I'd expect case sensitivity problems here: macOsX AND (power_user OR above) best regards daniel plaenitz [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Then again, setting up cygwin and director apps to play together is geekish enough to expect that whoever tries it would care for himself. in other news: I've seen much hatred and sorrow after using SPACE or 8-bit-chars in path/filenames dp [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
