'
The fact that everybody in the world EXCEPT the local disk'
code believes that HOST/DEVICE names are all uppercase is a pain.'
In particular SAMEDIR doesn''t work because Dsk # DSK.  Either'
/CNDIR and other such should not coerce to all upper case (probably the'
wrong solution) or the upper case standard should be adhered to uniformly.'

Quite easy, actually -- just changed the function which maps logical volume numbers onto volume names to U-CASEify its result before returning it.  -- Tayloe Stansbury'
