Re: Archive files with upper case file names

    One common situation is this: one copies files via a floppy formatted
    with the old DOS FAT16 filesystem.  (That filesystem stored all file
    names UPCASED.)  If the copy command isn't smart enough to downcase
    the file names on the destination side, you get FOO.ZIP.

This would apply to all file name extensions, right?
So should we do a case-independent match on all of them
(after trying a case-dependent match first, to distinguish .z and .Z)?
