IE: The       current handling looses incoming files if two files have the same first 12       chars. My suggestion would be to keep the files as is and create the symlinks       for DOS purposes - and if they are wrong, its an easier manual fix by the       sysop.              ...deon               _--_|\ | Deon George       / \ | Chinwag BBS - A BBS on a PI in Docker!       \_.__.*/ |         V | Coming from the 'burbs of Melbourne, Australia              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A42 2018/12/27 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: Chinwag | MysticBBS in Docker!
