(...) Actually, the EVIL part isn't uppercase filenames per-se, it's that WinDOwS is case-insensitive about filenames, even to the absurd point of allowing filenames in IIS-served URLs to be case-insensitive. There are few things more evil. --Todd (24 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
