The above is not true:

    C:\>dir
    [snip]
    05/03/2002  08:48a      <DIR>          bar
    05/03/2002  08:47a                   0 foo
    ...

    C:\>ren bar BAR
    ren bar BAR

    C:\>ren foo FOO
    ren foo FOO

    C:\>dir
    [snip]
    05/03/2002  08:48a      <DIR>          BAR
    05/03/2002  08:47a                   0 FOO
