Very Computer

I am told that there is no workaround for this problem at the moment.  I
seek the combined wisdom of the group to hopefully prove this wrong!

Anyway, we have a client with a OSE 5.0 with release supplement 5.00d
and net100 installed as well as the AFPS admin suplement.  We installed
AFPS successfully.  There were no problems in getting the WIN95 machine
to talk to the SCO machine.  Logged into the domain fine, was able to
access and use all utilities etc.  Everything looked great... until....

We shared a particular data directory containing the data files for the
Accounting software they run.  In that directory there are 2168 files
(ridiculous in my opinion) all but 8 of which have at least one upper
case letter in the name and guess what, only those eight are visible.
The others just ain't there.  Ownerships and permissions are identical
for all files.

Now this is where it got interesting, I created a file called scott.dat
and it did not appear either! (yes the directory listing was refreshed
.. Windows got rebooted more than once in this process!) I copyed all
lower case file names to another directory and they *did* all appear
there.  Add a filename with just one uppercase letter and it won't be
shown. All these problems were seen with WIN95 explorer BTW.

So the questions are:

1) are 2168 files too many for WIN95/AFPS? If so, how many are too many?
2) is the problem showing uppercase filenames really unresolvable?
3) do I install my beloved Samba instead afterall?
4) Did SCO really provide the free single user license in the media kit
so that we could find out about this before getting severely embaressed?
5) Should I visit a hair replacement specialist at this point?

Thanks in advance,

cheers

Scott.

Very strange.  I just:

cp filename FILEname

and when I view the directory using Explorer, I can only
see filename.  The balance of the directory in in lowercase
only and was still visible.

In another directory, where there is a mixed upper/lower
filename in with other all lowercase filenames, I can see
all the files.  The one file is converted to lowercase in
Explorer.
