Mixed mounting doesn't seem to work


I have installed CDK.EXE (B18) and Coolview on Windows 95B.  I would prefer to work in "mixed mode" because of several scripts that I have brought over from a SCO machine that uses the same name but with differently capitalized filenames.

I have modified all mount points to be both mixed and binary.  mount outputs the following information:
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
G:\emacs-19.34   /emacs              native      mixed,text=binary
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      mixed,text=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      mixed,text=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      mixed,text=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      mixed,text=binary
G:\GNU-Win-32    /                   native      mixed,text=binary

The basic method I used to validate if it is working is:
bash.exe-2.01$ echo "HELLO" > test
bash.exe-2.01$ echo "Hi" > Test
bash.exe-2.01$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--   1 500      everyone        3 Dec 14 23:18 test

If someone could provide any input or is successfully using "Mixed" mounting I would appreciate any feedback you could offer.
