Problem with LIB51 and upper/lower case names

Andrew E. Kalman

I'm having a problem with the filenames that LIB51 generates.

Under Win98, if I do:

lib51.exe TRANSFER a.obj, b.obj TO silly.lib

I end up with a library called Silly.lib when viewed from Windows explorer.

If I do the same from within a Cygwin bash shell running "under" Win98 or Win2000, I end up with SILLY.LIB.

What I really want is an all-lower-case silly.lib.

4 other compilers I use (gcc, HI-TECH PICC, HI-TECH V8C, CodeWarrior) preserve filename case in this situation.

Is there a way to preserve the filename's case when building a library with LIB51.EXE?

Thanks,
