Hi,

I found a BUG:

>>>>>
G:\Projekte\hostDirector>beta hostdirector
Mjølner BETA Compiler version 5.4.5 (711) for WinNT/Win95 (i386) (MS)
Target machine type nti_ms
Building dependency graph for: 'hostdirector' ...
Parsing: 'hostdirector'
Parsing: 'httpfuncs'

Filename found which only differs in case.
        Previously found: G:\Projekte\hostDirector\hostdirector
        Now found:        G:\Projekte\hostDirector\hostDirector
        Filenames must be unique regardless of case.
<<<<<

This error must not happen on any WIndows system, because Windows treats
filenames the same regardless of the case!

Please fix this error in the next release.

Regards,
Sascha Kimmel
