OpenVMS has two main file systems, one is not case sensitive or case
preserving, the other is by default not case sensitive but is case
preserving.
Files are generally sorted in a case blind fashion.
How big of a problem is this going to be?

I am using 2.4.6 on both ends (chosen by FreeBSD 4.4 ports collection), so I
