(Like turning off the stupid paperclip) When I did, the program ceased to work in even a moderately acceptable manner. (Like if turning off the stupid paperclip caused you to be unable to actually save any files you had edited.) So I didn't really ask it to do that. An "option" you can only set one way isn't really much of an "option" is it? ;-) Its a very bizarre kind of bug though. You'd think that file name character case choices shouldn't have any connection to determining out of date-ness of compiler supplied libraries, much less force the program to try to compile them in some mode that it can't get through successfully. (If specific compiler options are required, would it be better for those options to be specified as some equivalent pragma inside the file?)
