Subject: Windows file names & case insensitive search
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Grep is case sensitive with respect to Windows 2000 file names.  This 
causes a problem across various directories, e.g., -r.

I found a discussion back in '97 on this topic - no visible action 
resulted.  Has there been no decision to TOUPPER() filenames in the Windows 
implementation, or has another work around been implemented that I'm not 
seeing?
