Hi!
Another newbie question: I have a bunch of files,
originally written under UNIX, that have arrived at my
gnu-win32 directory via DOS (am running on Windows NT
4.0-sp3). The problem is that in the process the file names
have all been translated to upper case. I tried the obvious
thing:
cp FILE.C file.c
but it didn't work. I wound up reading each file into
emacs, and then copying it into a new directory using the
lower case name. This worked, but it seems, somehow,
inelegant.
I know that this is the result of a DOS/UNIX
incompatibility, and not strictly speaking gnu-win32's
fault, but is there a neater way to do this? (I anticipate
having to do this in the future).
thanks
j.
