[R-SIG-Mac] Case distinction on a Mac.

[Rolf Turner]

I have noticed that OS X sometimes fails to make a case distinction in
the names of files.  E.g. if I have a file ``junk'' and I try to create
a directory using ``mkdir Junk'' it will refuse to do so saying  
``file exists''.

Likewise I have just noticed that in R

	file.exists(".Rdata")

returns TRUE when no file .Rdata exists (but there *is* a file .RData).

This strikes me as an undesirable, uh, feature.  Is there any way that
I can tell OS X to smarten up about this?

Thanks.

	cheers,
