Subject:	OpenDOS is _already_ case-sensitive?

It seems that at least part of the filesystem is already case-sensitive
internally.  I found this on my HDD the other day:

 Volume in drive D is PHOENIX III

Check out MAiN.tXT, (7347 bytes, 28/05/97)

No program will touch it with a bargepole, they just reference MAIN.TXT instead.I could remove it with Norton, but it's so odd, I've decided not to for
the moment.

Still wondering how it happened.
