AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

3drename (and most other programs) use the Unix 'stat' facility to check if a file with a given name exists, and don't check filename case at all.

It is my guess that you are using a Macintosh, where the filesystem keeps track of the case of names, but you can't have filenames that only differ in case -- that is, you can have a file named 'Abc' but not then have (in the same directory) a file named 'aBC'. This behavior is unlike other Unix systems, but Steve Jobs has his own way of doing things. The ways of the Steve are passing strange, indeed.
