Are you sure that was the problem, because Ledit runs on DOS, which
doesn't care on filename case, it's case-insensitive, so it should always
work in DOS.

(...) This is a special LEdit feature, not related to DOS at all. If the STUD.DAT filename is uppercase, it is always displayed like a full stud in LEdit, even if the user chooses to have "line for stud" to save rendering time. Fredrik (27 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) What I meant was this: normally ledit shoes studs as lines, right. Several files were changed to uppercase so that ledit would not do the substitution and show the studs. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (27 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
