That would be fine, but I want to know which is which!

Having one package load on, say Windows and another on OS-X just because of some randomness in how directories are indexed would be confusing. As somebody said: the truth arises more naturally from error than from confusion. ;^)

Hi Folks,

Today I did a commit of both Cuis and StyledTextEditor. This, and
several other issues, should be fixed now.
