not in all cases.
<P>
For example, you can pass a mixed case string to pts->creategroup(), and
then use the same string to query the resulting AFS::Object::Group object
using <CODE>getGroupByName().</CODE>
<P>
The object's ``group'' attribute, however, will be in lower case, since
that will be the value returned by the pts command itself.

<H2><A NAME="AFS_Command_VOS_restore_argum">AFS::Command::VOS->restore arguments added
</A></H2>
Documentation for two important new vos restore arguments was added to the
documentation (-creation and -lastupdate). These options are only available
in a patch to vos, which should be in one the next two major OpenAFS 1.2.X
releases.

</A></H2>
The actual attribute on the objects was named ``access''. Oops. The
attribute was changed to ``accesses'' to match the documentation, and the
string that is parsed in vos output.

There is a well intentioned effort to automatically test all new
submissions to CPAN (see <A
HREF="http://testers.cpan.org).">http://testers.cpan.org).</A>
Unfortunately, the AFS-Command package can't be tested automatically, since
it requires a fair amount of configuration. You have to specify a cell
name, some fileserver names and partitions, etc.
<P>
By default, the tests will all be skipped if the configured cell name in
the CONFIG file has not been modified, thus allowing the automated CPAN
testing to continue, automatically, without the author getting a bunch of
bogus emails.

!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!
<P>
This change is NOT backwards compatible with previous releases, so verify
that your code handles the new, consistent values correctly.
<P>
The ``status'' field returned from either vos->examine() or
vos->listvol(), in previous releases, had inconsistent values. When a
volume is online, the status would be one of:
