This was discussed on the net a while ago .... AUFS stores file names as
Unix file names in the Unix directory structure ... the MacOS ignores
case in file names, unix doesn't (ie on the mac 'Fred', 'fred', 'FRED' and
'frED' are all the same) so if you make a file over AUFS called 'abcdefg'
and access it as 'ABCDEFG' you wont access it (you seldom type in a file
name on the Mac, usually it comes from the finder or SFGetFile so this
is seldom a problem). But hypercard does something like converting 'abcdefg'
to 'AbCdEfG' when it opens a file, I have no idea why .... but that's why it
doesn't work ....
