It is not a matter of case sensitivity. It a matter of doing things correctly: "com1" != "com1.bau.meaw" *dot* And things *must* be implemented correctly from an application point of view. You cannot pretend apps to use kernel functions to do things correctly. This is what happened with DOS and this is way it took a while for M$ to migrate and to drop these hidden hooks apps used to exploit. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
