Two GS/OS questions:
1) The latest versions of GS/OS allow uppercase and lowercase filenames, but
older operating systems still see the filenames as all uppercase. Where is
the UC/LC information stored?
2) How can a modem be accessed through GS/OS? (I think there may have been a
discussion about this recently that I missed; if so, I'm sorry about the
waste of bandwidth)
Thanks in advance.

Where > is the UC/LC information stored? The case of the letters in the filename are stored in what used to be the version and min-version fields of the file entry. Now that we finally have a change to the ProDOS file system and can use the version & min-version field, we don't have it anymore! How's that for handy and planning ahead?!?! | ProLine: jeffw@pro-gateway | Internet: jeffw@pro-gateway.cts.com | UUCP: crash!pro-gateway!jeffw | ARPA: crash!pro-gateway!jeffw@nosc.mil | BITNET: jeffw%pro-gateway.cts.com@nosc.mil +---------------------------------------------------->Pro-Gateway 214/644-5113

Not to be a prick about this, but I think you should really RUN (don't walk) to apple.com really fast and download ALL the IIgs technotes. I did, and they take up about 680k all together. You'll find a real wealth of information. Make sure you get the ones for: IIgs, GS/OS, Apple 3.5, and I think there was another bunch I got also. Well, just to half-answer your question, the words for version and min- version are used to store the Upper/Lower case information -- it's all bit- encoded. - Andrew. (aabenson@balance.cs.mtu.edu)
