- #In the case where you have a FAT partition on a server, and a DOS systems as a
- #client, it seems stupid that you can't even access the files by their own name!
- #
- #Is there a way around this at all? Am I missing something?
- #
- #I'm not looking to turn off all Name mapping, but if we were given the option
- #of specifying UPPERCASE filenames to be the default, and then lowercase would
- #be mapped, then it would fix at least one _SIMPLE_ situation that we have here.

- In the next version of PC-NFS (no dates, no promises :-) there will
- be a way to disable name mapping on a per-mount basis. This is
- primarily intended for accessing NFS-mounted CD ROMs which use FAT-style
- names. If the name is not 8.3 shaped, results are unpredictable,
- however.
