I thought it was captal C: appliCation.CfC
Hmm, that looks wrong... aPPlication.cFc? Ok, ok, I like Sean's spelling... Application.cfc. Why? Because it's the one that works, that's why! Only an issue for Solaris, OSX, Linux, etc. where case is important. Which causes me to ask... why should a modern OS be dependent on case at all? Is there a real reason behind it, or is it a useless legacy "feature" of a 30-year-old platform?
