SLP 9.0 i386 Since the install of 9.0 I have noticed the annoying (at least it is to me) sort of ls(1) being case insensitive. The man page for ls and "info ls" both claim the default is in ASCII order but is mitigated by the locale and more specifically by LC_LOCALE. My locale is en_US via the LANG environmental variable. Typically, ls(1) did CASE SENSITIVE sorting. Does anyone know how to get the old behavior back? I am an old programmer from ancient Unix and this new behavior drives me batty. My guess is it is a change in the locale or my choice of locale. I have unset LS_COLORS and LS_OPTIONS to no avail. $ rpm -qf /bin/ls coreutils-5.0-90 $ locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= -- _/_/_/ Bob Pearson gottadoit@mailsnare.net _/_/_/ "The best way to get information on Usenet is not to ask a _/_/_/ question, but to post the wrong information." - Aahz' Law
