- I personally prefer the behavior of HPFS regarding file name case
- sensitivity, however the purpose of providing case sensitivity in this
- case has naught to do with user preference, but unix compatability.
- Some unix programs will depend upon a case sensitive file system, and
- will cause trouble when porting to OS/2 and HPFS.
