Eli,
I simply did a directory list to find this out. I have an IBM point of sale
system which I can't seem to get ange-ftp to work on. So I manually ftp the
files back and forth. Not only does ange-ftp not work (I think the ls-al
command is what is chokes on), but it transfers files in uppercase. Until
recently, I used CVS from the command prompt (4nt). So now the files are in
CVS in caps. I renamed the file to lowercase, that didn't work. I editted
CVS/Entries and made that lower case, and then vc-cvs-registered() found the
file. Of course, that confused CVS, so a CVS UP resulted in:
cvs server: Updating .
cvs.exe update: move away ./SSP_SMKT.C; it is in the way
C SSP_SMKT.C
I'm assuming the C stands for conflict. So, I changed:
(case-fold-search nil)
to:
(case-fold-search t)
If I was better at elisp, I'd probably somehow stick something like:
(if (eq system-type 'window-nt) .....
