Re: Simple Motor Calculator for Linux/OS X

My general feeling is that if there's any chance of the program being wrong it shouldn't try to run based on a guess. So for example, running with the 'closest' name to a user argument might be problematic because if they typed in something that there wasn't data for you might get wrong data out. But on the other hand, a case-insensitive matching wouldn't have that problem since it's reasonable to assume that there won't be a new motor whose name differs only in capitalization.
