This makes it easier to match some inputs in a case-insensitive manner. I'm sure creative folks will find other weird uses for the capability. The first re that matches the input is considered to match. I wrote this short script to map long filenames to DOS 8. 3 names. I imagine there are some errors in the assumptions about what can go in a DOS filename.
Feedback is welcome.
I find it convenient to use this to refer to individual files from web pages. This directory is just a snapshot of the CVS repository. I'm slowing working on some notes and references collected from my experience and that of other people. Contributions and comments are most welcome. This is presumably due to linear search for an available port and the fact that TCP requires sockets to hang around for awhile after closing to catch late-arriving packets.
