Nope. I've created a nest of directories which displays
on Unix (correctly):
...
castor
marker
Castor
Marker
...
With Windows XP explorer (and I'm not sure what Samba server
and client) I see:
...
Castor
Marker
castor
Marker
...
Note that "Marker" appears in both directories, not "marker"
which should appear in "castor".
This is just plain wrong; deceptive; dangerous. If Windoze
can't handle the situation, it should at least give me the
courtesy of an error message.
