Re: ADT for Linux?

Hi there,
Great ADT port.  One slight annoyance though.  Actually, a couple.
The first has to do with the fact that Linux is case sensative where
filenames are concerned.  I make it a habbit to leave my caps lock down on
my Apple since most programs require it, at least the ones I use.  So when I
use the Linux ADT, and want to, say, receive test.dsk it actually tries to
send TEST.DSK unless I release my caps lock.
Another annoyance is that aparently ADT doesn't like to be run as a
background process.  Probably something to do with keyboard input handling
or something, but it terminates immediately when run with a & at the end,
even if I specify serial and baud parameters on the command line.  I think
it would be nice to be able to run ADT in the background, so it'd just run
all the time and I could use it if and when I needed it without having to
worry about starting it up.
Other than that, it's a great port!  Thanks for good work!
Jayson.
