I'm not subscribed to the mailing list, so please cc a copy of your
reply to me.  Thanks.

Instead of changing the filename to support mixed-case mounts, would it
be possible to simply tell NT to use POSIX semantics when opening files? 

It seems to me that this would be a much better solution.  It would be
much more transparent to non-Unix applications this way.

The only problem I see is that this wouldn't work under 95, but a few
#defines should work around that problem.
