Unit case works like this: 1. FPC searches first mixed case then lowercase then uppercase. Ergo, if the file name is mixed case, then this mixed case must be used by the codetools to find the unit on case sensitive file systems (Linux). 2. if the file is all lowercase or all uppercase then the unit can be used any case. Then the codetools will copy the unit name from the source (e.g. unit LCLProc; ). Some developers write their source names lowercase for aesthetic reasons. Because I prefer mixed case in uses sections, I use word completion for those unit names.
