- Original code (versions through 2.0.7?) by Emmet P. Gray (Texas, USA), who

-
- Since 2.0.7: maintained primarily and until now informally by Alain
- Knaff (Grenoble, France) and David Niemi (Reston, Virginia, USA).

- Bugs/TODO
- ---------
-
- 1) Address default case of non-VFAT files:
- Perhaps case flags of 0/0 should mean "all lowercase" and 1/1
- "all uppercase", so that default files == 0/0 and 1/1 == unusual case
- 0/1 still means upper/lower and 1/0 still means lower/upper.
- Perhaps also have a "strict case" option to force the current behavior.
-
- 2) Man pages and documentation are doubtless badly out of date
-
- 3) Recognize and cleanly ignore "Class" entries (or even obey them???)

- Possible Optimizations
