Hello Bob!

Well I just don't understand it, because it does normally work under Linux,
maybe it's the arrays..

:-)

Ahh cool, I didn't see that.

 BJ> I have the following TWO newareapath lines, in order:

Okay, good!

Yes I understand, HPFS use long filenames.

With the newest CVS source.. While porting it did I comment out the content
of the strupr function, but later I did uncomment it, and solve the
filecase problems.

Okay.
