Re: why are win/dos files UPPER CASE ?

This is not completely true. For Samba, it's actually DOS choosing to show
them in upper case. If you have Win95, you'll see long names in the correct
case, 8.3 names in all-caps.
That said, Samba does allow you to "mangle" the names. See: man smb.conf

If you are mounting it directly, you can choose the case, and in fact I
believe the default is lower-case. See: man mount
