What do Microsoft's .NET implementations do in a case-sensitive
environment?
In particular:
- What does Rotor do on BSD?
- I vaguely remember hearing something about NTFS having a flag
you can set (on file names? on directories?) to indicate
that file names are case-sensitive. Is that correct?
If so, how does MS.NET behave if this flag is set?
