- yes, unixmode gives you case sensitivity too. to quote
- unixmode.doc (the `c' option):
-
- c -- Pretend case is significant in file names. If this flag is
- present, then UNIXMODE programs will not translate the case
- of file names in any way, and will assume that case is significant
- to the underlying operating system.
- The "c" flag should *not* be used in present versions of GEMDOS,
- since these are case insensitive. It is provided so that programs
- will work correctly under GEMDOS extenders or future versions of
- the OS.

- certainly. or you can grab yourself a set of utilities that
- are UNIXMODE aware (from A.A). similarly, you can grab yourself a
- shell like bash or master that are unixmode aware, and they you can
- do completions, regexp matches and so on according to unixmode
- settings.
