   Hello Kurt,

   The frl* documents are NOt standards. "frl" stands for Fidonet Reference   
   Library". The library consists mainly of proposals that for some reason did   
   NOT make it into standards.   
      
   The relevant standard is FTS.5003.003

     Filename case sensitivity - the case of the BSO filenames depends on   
     the OS file system. Lower case filenames are prefered if supported   
     by the file system. If the OS file system supports lower and upper   
     case filenames, the software should be able to handle both for   
     maximum compatibility. That behaviour might be controlled by a   
     configuration option.

    KW> file names?   
      
   There isn't. But you should address the author of Binkit. That is the one not   
   honouring the standard. "the software should be able to handle both for   
   maximum compatibility."   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
