Well... not really. It can be mixed case. Unix is case-sensitive. But it's
damned confusing to humans. If someone links to one of your site's pages and
uses the wrong
case, then unix won't deliver the file. It's much easier if you keep it
consistent and do
everything in lower case.

Yep, that'll work.

Whoa. What a problem. Try Allaire Homesite (free download at
www.allaire.com ) It can do a global search replace across all files within
the site. Search for .html and
find all dot.html files and then do a search/replace to convert each name
into lower case. And search for .gif and .jpg as well, and then do a global
replace on each one. It'll be a bit of work, but not more than a few
hours, max. Be sure to do this on a copy of the site and then test the
links.
