- Description:
-
- DOSFS and CDFS allow filenames in capital letters only, which doesn't make
- for readability. This cunning module sits on the vector used by the Filer
- to read filenames and does on-the-fly translation of the case of filenames
- containing no lower-case letters. And as a bonus, it also tells the Filer
- that directories have timestamps at the beginning or end of time, and this
- means they all get listed first or last under "Sort by date".
