Re[2]: The future of WebCatalog is coming with 4.0...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2000
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 27768
interpreted = N
texte = I object strenuously to any notion of making WebCatalog case insensitive. Just because NT and Mac do not differentiate between mixedcase and MiXeDcAsE doesn't mean we should dumb down WebCat to compensate. If you bow to pressure from inconsistent/sloppy programmers, at least make it a system option. Case insensitivity is not a feature, it is a bug.I have always striven to keep case use consistent within all of my sites, not because I have to, but because at some point I will be working 100% in Linux and it will matter. I can also see writing a Perl script to step through all of my sites' code and making sure that everything is correct. If I do, it will be made available for all to use (since I will wind up writing a simple WebDNA parse engine in the process).My 0.02John Peacock ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: The future of WebCatalog is coming with 4.0...
