I am glad things are working for you now. The upper case 
matter is a bit strange. Per definition, DOS filenames are 
case insensitive. They are stored in upercase in the dorectory 
but I am sure I open my files with a lowercase filename given 
and the functions definitively find the right file and open 
and read/write it. 

Could this be a problem on the MAC side?

I don't know, if the patches will make it into the next 
release, we had a discussion with Joel about it. I think they 
will not break anything that was working without the 
patches...

wkr,
	Thomas.
