[comp.sys.apple] BASIC.SYSTEM v1.4

>BASIC.SYSTEM 1.4, which is part of the recently announced System Software
>5.02, fixes this bug.

Will B.S 1.4 display/allow the use of lowercase in filenames?  That's one
of the things I REALLY like about p8 1.8 now, and it seemed that B.S 1.3
didn't use it.

Nope.  ProDOS 8 1.8 was *not* changed to actually allow lowercase characters
in filenames.  It was only changed to not barf when it sees the bits in a
subdirectory's directory entry that show GS/OS's ProDOS FST which characters
are lowercase.  See GS/OS Technical Note #8 for more information.
