RE: WebHelp File Names: Upper/Lower Case & Underscore

["Leonard C. Porrello" <Leonard -dot- Porrello -at- SoleraTec -dot- com>]

I used all lower case filenames (with no spaces; underscores are fine)
for a very good reason when I created my companies web site. I no longer
remember that reason. I think it has something to do with needing to run
the site on GNU/Linux. Case doesn't matter for Windows servers but is
critical on GNU/Linux servers.

Subject: WebHelp File Names: Upper/Lower Case & Underscore

Question regarding the naming of HTML files in a WebHelp project: does
it matter whether the file name contains upper/lower case characters?

Examples:
* sample_name_of_file.htm (all lower case)
* SAMPLE_NAME_OF_FILE.htm (all caps)
* Sample_Name_of_File.htm (upper and lower case)

In other words, could any potential problems arise from using any of the
above?

ALSO: Could the underscore line in a file name potentially cause any
problems?

Thanks.

Keith
