- Exactly...that's why OS/2/system 7/AmigaDOS/ every other OS except
- DOS and Windows allow you to have names like "Meeting Summary", but
- for all intents and purposes it is "meeting summary." You can only
- have ONE "meeting summary""MEETING SUMMAY""MeEtInG SuMmArY" in a
- directory, but it's confusing to have more then one anyways. When
- you do a "dir" you will see the case of the last one you saved, i.e.
- Meeting Summary".
