Hello,

This is done as a convenience to the user, as with U*X it's in general a
custom to have filenames in lower case. If you really want to have the
names as stored on disk, try mounting the CD with option -g. This will
not only leave the case of the name alone, but will also leave the version
number of the file attached, i.e. you'll get filenames like "XXX.YYY;1" and
similar, just as they are (required to be) recorded on the disk.
Hope it helps.
Ciao,
Wolfgang
