Matej Horvat 08021a3beb fat: correctly read lowercase 8.3 filenames Historically, FAT stored filenames as uppercase. Modern windows versions will however be case-preserving. As a special case, all-uppercase files from old FAT filesystems will be converted to all-lowercase. There are two flags (one for filename and one for extension) indicating that this should be done. We did not make the distinction between these two flags when reading a filename. We still don't set the flags properly when writing files, but we always provide a long file name (even if the name would fit in the 8.3 pattern for a short one, so when reading back our own entries, we should always use the long filename and be safe.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.
