We will need to eventually take care of that so that control files can be
shared between systems.....  Ok, there may not be much use of that long
term, but it will help during transition....  And yes, I can run the crlf
-> newline conversion software (and reverse direction) if needed.... 
So, this is a (very) low priority item....

Part of the plan.  Unfortunately I don't have time to play right now with
everything else I'm dealing with at the moment.  Looks like there are 150+
messages in this echo I haven't read recently.  :(

I expecte case sensitivity under unix, which will be a pain unless I run
off a samba type mount from the OS/2 system (short term).....  I think I
can set that up to ignore case issues.....  if I had the time....

And with symbolic links in linux file systems, should be relatively easy to

Take care.....
