I plead with the various program developers to make
the media selection and media names that they use
CASELESS on input... Letter, LETTER, and letter
should all be Letter (or letter) (or LETTER)
for the appropriate program.
Here is a patch for a2ps that will fix up their
case comparisons, save the time and hair (what
little is left) of sysadmins trying to figure
out why the 'Media' selection dies...
Patrick ("Media selection? Ummm... right now
I listen mostly to the KPBS San Diego station,
and Dirk Sutros 'The Lounge' show. He has the
most AMAZING set of guests. I can't believe
that tabla guy the other day... and the
... well... cool stuff") Powell
