Guido said that you needed help with Cygwin and MacOSX, so I was just offering my help. I know that you have the "development" in good shape so let me know if I can help with testing Cygwin or other platforms. > Jason, doesn't the current CVS Python already do what you want?

I didn't think Cygwin needed that -- scream if that's wrong.

Is it possible to make the PYTHONCASEOK caveat orthogonal to the platform so it can be enabled to combat case-destroying filesystems for any platform? > Luckily, with a new child in the house, you have plenty of time to think > about this, since you won't be sleeping again for about 3 years anyway > <wink>. Agreed -- this is not our first so we "know." I *have* been thinking about this issue and others 24 hours a day for the last two weeks. I'm just finding it difficult to actually *do* anything with one hand and no sleep... :,) Thanks, Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: +1 (732) 264-8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corp.
