A few questions out of curiosity, since I've not read up on Cygwin 1.7: What does Cygwin 1.7 do in that case with mkdir FROG cd frog ? I assume there'd be an error, as on UNIXy systems. I assume there'd be the same error for mkdir FROG mkdir fRog cd frog In a completely case-sensitive directory, I would expect that the problem of normalizing a directory or file name would be a no-op, just like on UNIXy systems: if you enter the name exactly, it knows the exact spelling without any other work; if you don't enter it exactly, there's an error, and thus no need to normalize the invalid name. Is there a way for a script to tell whether it's running under Cygwin 1.7, and whether the directory is case-sensitive? -- Tim McDaniel, tmcd AT panix DOT com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
