Re: GNATBench 2.1.0 (free) and file/procedure naming case

["Brian Gaffney" <brianDOTgaffney@myrealbox.com>]

I haven't used GNATBench, but part of the problem may be that the GNAT tools 
on Windows convert file names to lowercase.  Long ago, using different cases 
(i.e. on command line calls) would cause internal GNAT errors.  The same 
issue did not impact Linux (etc).

With the standard GNAT tools, the files they create are lowercase, but they 
will find files of any case.  I don't know if if manually renaming the files 
would work here.
