You're right, it is confusing now that I look at it again. I'm away from 
a writable CVS for at least a day or so, so if you can, please update it.  
Otherwise, I'll fix it up over the weekend.

The reason I didn't use case-insensitive is that it really does only do 
that for DOS-based FS's for now. I don't have VMS and don't know what 
happens there.
