With Wes's decision to put a number of configuration files in /var/max/etc instead of /var/max (by default), there are already a number of items that don't work exactly like the DOS, OS/2 and Win32 version. Also, the current path "kludge" fix has left me needing to use full path specifications in places where I should be relative to either /var/max or /var/max/etc, but I haven't gotten relative paths to work.... I've ignored the problem so far by having full paths specified in places that I normally wouldn't..... File case names is another area that gets interesting. Under OS/2 using HPFS partitions, you see some of the interesting CASE usage that Scott implemented. But I believe it wasn't always consistant. Since the DOS, OS/2 and Win32 code was at best case insenstive (at worst, forced to all upper case by the OS file system), this didn't matter (or get caught in debugging) on those platforms. It does catch us on the Unix / Linux platforms, where file names are (normally) case sensitive.... Take care.....
