The QNetWare file system does not preserve the case in which files or directories are entered in a command or API.
All names are set to uppercase in transmission to the NetWare server. Novell NetWare also supports the namespaces of multiple platforms, such as DOS, OS/2®, Apple Macintosh, and NFS. The QNetWare file system only supports the DOS namespace. Since the DOS namespace is required on all Novell NetWare volumes, all files and directories will appear in the QNetWare file system.
