As a result of discussion of a "standard location" folder for distributing
Plugins, I discovered this difference between the path Strings returned
from two messages.
Smalltalk imageName. "<primitive: 121> Correct"
'C:\Lantz\Djgpp\Squeak\zLImg\zLSq2-9a\Squeak2-9a.image'
Smalltalk vmPath. "<primitive: 142> QDos name"
'C:\LANTZ\DJGPP\SQUEAK\'
The capitalization of the imageName String is correct. It matches the names
I used to make the folders and how their names appear in both Squeak and my
bash shell [1] . I would prefer that the vmPath returned the same LFN style
information.
I understand that both the QDos and LFN information exists . If there is an
issue with this changing I am curious, perhaps there could be a new message .

[1] Ok, actually in bash 'C:\Lantz\Djgpp' == '~'
