Hi, [rant] I'm just sick of the idiocy of Linux/Unix with there case sensitive file systems! Google'ing a round for the reason for this, it seems that in the 60's, it was C programmers that decided that searching for case sensitive files was easier to implement (and marginally faster). Well, 40+ years later, that is totally irrelevant - yet we are still suck (by default) with case sensitive file systems. Mac OS X, Windows and OS/2 proves that there is no problems with case insensitive file systems, even for various locales. It also makes it MUCH easier for the end-user. I see no reason why Linux must still be stuck with this. Anyway, that is why I am busy reformatting all my JFS file systems (I have long ago standardised on JFS) with the -O option to make them case insensitive. [/rant]
Anyway, back to the point.... I seriously doubt there would be any problems, but I'll ask anyway. Has anybody here used JFS (case insensitive option enabled) with FPC and experienced any problems? I doubt there would be, because Mac OS X by default is case insensitive too - and it is also a *nix system. In the same breath, any possible Lazarus issues? PS: Anybody know of other Linux file systems that have a case insensitive option? I really thought ext2 had this, but searching now through the man pages, it seems I was mistaken. Anybody know if Btrfs would have such an option? -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
