Ah, you said that you didn't get the error message, but
I didn't realize that it meant that it was actually able
to read the file. I have no idea why it manages to open
the file. And I can't try it on a small example since I
don't have access to a Linux or other case-sensitive
operating system. It's too bad that SourceForge does not
offer its compile-farm anymore. As far as I can see, the
code ends up calling fopen(). I don't know if there is
an option to make it case-insensitive or case_sensitive
at will.
