He's not suggesting changing the behavior of the file system, he's suggesting changing the behavior of completion. That is, if in zsh you typed zsh% ls STRASSE then zsh would complete case-insensitively and you'd see zsh% ls Straße ^ cursor here The actual _access_ to the file still has to use its "real" name. Now, it's a bit more difficult to deal with cases where two characters maps onto one like that, because zsh normally assumes that completion can only produce longer words ... but otherwise it's neither impossible nor a problem for file creation or access. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
