[AccessD] .net

for what it's worth, while this was a nusance, it also proved to be very
helpful in scripting for running Unix automated scripts :D, even though the
most popular browser on the net is case insensitive, the most popular
servers on the net do mind...  While theoretically a = A, both are acctually
diffrent Ascii characters and therefore have some logic to why they don't
both equal each other... hmm... OTOH, this very syndrome is what cause
Oracle to perform faster on text comparisons since "MyCompany" is not the
same as "mycompany" or even "Mycompany" for that matter...
