[Fabien Bodard]

  For Each wkclass In Classes
    If Not IsNull(wkclass.Parent) Then
      If object.type(wkclass.Parent) = "BaseBO" Then Print wkclass.Name
    Endif

> I have a library which contains classes to analyse horse trial times.
> These classes rely on some files which contain some static data about
> the various analyses, these files are all called AbcZyx.meta where
> AbcXyz is the name of the relevant class (note the mixed case in both).
> When the first instance of any of these classes is created, it reads
> that associated file and sets up the static data.
>
> Somehow lately a strange thing has happened, one of the classes when it
> loads has it's name converted to lower case.  All the others preserve

>       If wkclass.Parent.Name = "BaseBO" Then Print wkclass.Name
