      Hello Kurt,              On Tuesday January 15 2019 08:46, you wrote to All:               KW> I recently switched mailers from Radius to Binkit, and noticed that my        KW> mailer is not recognizing the .*lo files created by Allfix.

"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              http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5005.003              === quote ===               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.              === end quote ===               KW> Is there a way to force Allfix to use lower-case characters in .*lo        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              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)    |
