Hi folks,

Is there any way to ensure that files created/renamed by 16-bit
applications on an NT 4.0 system have lower-case filenames?

When renaming a lower-case filename in VB3 to a new lower-case filename (in
the code) it is actually renamed in upper-case.

Is there any NT setting to ensure that a file retains its case when it is
renamed?

Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Neil

VB3 does not support lowercase. Actually, 16 bit does not support lowercase.
Can't get there form here. NT allows the filename to be read by 16 bit apps
in upper or lower case so that 16 bit programs will run but 16 bit programs
are not capable of creating multi-case filenames because WOWExec, the NT 16
bit subsystem your progam run though, dows not provide for it.
