Unset & case insensitive
Authored by: el bid on Mar 15, '02 03:51:38AM
As for the case insensitive issue. HFS+ is in fact case insensitive but most (if not all) of the BSD tools still distinguish between case.

Apologies to all for shooting my mouth off here and not really understanding the issue. I will obviously have to investigate this further.

But isn't this in principle a rather _worse_ situation than the one I described? The BSD tools and the filesystem _disagreeing_ about the names of files?

I have absolutely no idea why this response appears twice. I only wrote it once; only submitted it once.

Dare I suggest there may be a bug in MacHints? Possibly involving the server's response to the use of the Back function in the browser (mine's OmniWeb).
