2957.0. "Ultrix map file names" by SUBWAY::REILLY (Mike Reilly - New York Bank District) Thu May 07 1992 15:17

    Is it too late to change the case of the file names of the MAP files
    on the Ultrix version of MCC.  
    
    In my current environment we use DECmcc on both Ultrix and VMS while
    sharing a common DNS namespace. We also copy the map files and the
    icon files from VMS to Ultrix thus preventing the customer from
    having to draw the maps/icons twice.  While the map file names are
    identical on both VMS and Ultrix the case of the file names are not
    similar. eg:
    
    mcc_2478000400AA000001C9FCC3BBA75DE0.mcc_map_decnet_segments
    
    If I use dcp to copy this file from VMS to Ultrix the file name will
    end up being all lowercase, and the file search algorithm for DECmcc
    ultrix will not recognise the file as a valid map file.  I would
    like if the Ultrix file names were all lowercase or else have the
    file search algorithm changed so that it also looks for a map file
    name which is lowercase.
    
    It looks good that we easily share the maps and icons between
    platforms but it is a pain trying to get the case correct on Ultrix.
    
    Thanks,
    Mike

If this change is made please let us know as soon as possible.  The
ELM FMs create map files and they need to follow the mcc naming convention.

Thanks,
