'
It appears that Maxc''s Leaf server is case-sensitive in the directory field of a file name': if I try to open a file with a lower case directory name, I get a file not found error, with the Leaf error elaboration "GTJFN': No such directory".  It doesn''t seem to care if the body of the file name is lower case, just the directory.'
'
I suppose this is not a high-priority item, since Tenexes are dying off and I can easily patch around this by coercing the filename to uppercase before sending it off.'
