Case-sensitive directories
 

I've noticed some doubling-up of directories in 1.6.x, 1.7.0, and 1.7.x. i.e. two identical directories in content & name but for a lower/uppercase difference in the directory name.

As an example:
There are others. I wonder if this could potentially cause difficulties down the line with code pointing to one or the other directories.

My apologies if this has been raised in the past.

Cheers

But the two directories contain different things:

• 'reactions/' contains code for compilation
• 'Reactions/' contains template classes

On Unix-style systems there is no confusion between the names.
With the wmake system, all of the headers are available via 'lnInclude/', so the end-user wouldn't even notice anyhow.

As long as you are using a case-sensitive file system, there are no problems (apart from possible typos).
