Hi Sven,
From what I've read, the NT kernel (and filesystem) support a lot of things
that Windows in general doesn't. Presumably this is because it is
(unofficially, of course) loosely based on VMS, but Win32 was originally
designed to work with DOS, etc.
Thank you,
Noah Silva

Hi Sven,
It seems that since NT is the only remaining Windows kernel now that it
might make sense to use NT functions in (for example) the normal SysUtils
library for more efficient implementations - do you think there is any
strong reason not to?
You have to figure there are two layers of

Linux can handle both. But many Linux tools only support case sensitive
files.
Well, in a case insensitive file

Hi,

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+

One concrete example - if you create a unit and store it in a file with a
mixed case name, it will be found by the compiler in your case. If you
share this source with someone else (also using Linux like you), it may
not be found. This would be an equal problem if done

Anybody know of other Linux file systems that have a case insensitive

Hi,
You can get similar problems when copying code from Windows to OS X,
because OS X is not only case insensitive, it normalizes UTF
characters.
Well that's a good thing in the long run, because you can guarantee more
matches if you always normalize.
My recommendation: If you have the
