The problem is that "case mapping" is enabled on the J drive.
This means that files with upper case filenames must be referenced
via the *DOS* filesystem interface via the "mapped" version of the
filename, which is what you see. The Windows filesystem interface
has less restrictions than the old "8.3" DOS filesystem interface
so it does not go thru the same name mapping scheme in Win4Lin.
So I guess that what is happening is that the first part of
setup uses the DOS filesystem interface to find the files
and later uses the windows filesystem interface to read the
files. When case mapping is enabled in this scenaio and there
are files with upper case characters, then things like this
problem will happen. For more on filename mapping issues
refer to the user's guide.
So you can either change all the filenames to lower case, or
use winsetup to turn off case mapping on the J drive.
