Maybe. That's where my original question comes in: explain to me why case-sensitivity is a GOOD thing. I would submit that "simplest for the programmer" really isn't an answer. It may be (and I think it is) why it got done that way, but it's not a justification.

Also, what about accents? Should "chacun à son goût" compare equal to "chacun a son gout"? Should "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" compare equal to "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
