Would it be possible to modify the CVSNT server to use FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS when opening files, to preserve case? Obviously, this only works on NTFS partitions, but it would allow for the scenario where the clients are all UNIX, and they were used to UNIX servers that supported this. It would make it tricky to back up the repository, though, as any non-POSIX-aware applications would get confused by "duplicate" names. Anthony
