lettercase on vfat



Hi *

whenever I create a file on a vfat partition or copy file to such a
partition the filenames get changed.
e.g.
ls > X # capital x
ls
  x    # lowercase x

ls > Xx
ls
  xx

same applies to all filenames fitting the 8/3 character frame. Is this
a) intended
b) normal
c) strange but cannot be changed for problems with M$'s way of creating
file systems.

Currently I tar-gzip / zip files I have to transfer between PCs and
unpack them under Windows.
A little time consuming, but works. Would be nice if there was a
solution.

TIA
