A space is much easier for my brain/eyes to parse as a separater than mixed case. This also solves the problem of systems that map mixed case into all lower/upper-case; on the other hand it uses up valuable space for those systems that allow a limited number of chars for identifiers or file names. -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@weyl.berkeley.edu ucbvax!weyl!rusty
