Subject:Small L and Number1 From:Jennifer Hines <jenn -at- NDIGITAL -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 5 Jun 1998 10:50:41 EST5DST
Hi everyone,
I have to apologize if this question has already been addressed, but I couldn't
find anything in the archives.
Anyway, here is my problem:
Currently I am working on a manual that requires examples of
path names (variable declarations) that are case sensitive.
One particular path name includes a lower case L. When reading the path
name it is hard to tell wether the lower case L is an L or the number 1.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make it clear to my readers
that it is in fact a lower case L?
Thanks a bundle,
Jenn
