One common situation is this: one copies files via a floppy formatted with the old DOS FAT16 filesystem. (That filesystem stored all file names UPCASED.) If the copy command isn't smart enough to downcase the file names on the destination side, you get FOO.ZIP. This happens a lot on Windows, but could also happen on GNU and Unix systems (e.g., I think some versions of Mtools didn't downcase file names). _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
