RE: [Flightgear-devel] MD11 model filenames

2004-11-09 Thread Richard Bytheway
Windows doesn't care whether the files name is upper case, lower case or some 
funky mixed case, they all refer to the same file. 
I presume that on a case sensitive file system the case of the filename and the 
case of the reference to the filename must match, but on Windows this is not 
the case.

The only problem at the moment is that CVS barfs on the second of each pair 
with a xxx is in the way warning. Removing the one from CVS that is not 
referenced by the model will solve the problem.

 I can go to 3D Studio and change the textures' name to 
 lowercase, but I won't 
 be able to do that until... next year.  I have been kind of 
 busy these days.

I guess the lower case files remained in CVS, but I'm not sure about that. 
Maybe Erik can enlighten us?
