Hi,
I installed cygwin 1.5.0 and remounted all cygwin
directories (/,/usr/bin,
/usr/lib) in managed mode. Now I can't access files that
have a capital

*exactly*
Don't do that. Do not use managed mode on your old
directories. It is
called "managed" for a reason. Cygwin wants to manage all
file creations.
So, the only way to use it is to create an empty directory, mount it
as managed, and then populate it with files.
Do you have any plans to provide backward/windows compatibility for managed
mode?
Perhaps I'm being simplistic but I can't see how Windows compatibility
could be added in terms of it displaying the unmanaged names and
understanding which name maps where. I assume that's what you meant.
If not, please clarify. Also, I'm not sure I understand the implication
of 'backward' in your statement, unless it was just a qualifier for
'windows'.
There's no reason that Windows applications can't work with the managed
named files of course. At least, no reason AFAICS.
