Hi Enrico,

I believe that you should take into account a very old dos problem (it 
happened to a few times in various MS-DOSes) some badly written program 
manages to write a file with true lower cases, it then becomes very 
difficult to delete it afterwards.

I don't know how programs did manage that (maybe FCBs) but it can become 
a problem.
