   Hi! Wilfred,   
      
   On 21 Apr 20 14:36, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV> You can't enter mixed or lowercase into the configuration program,   
    WV> only uppercase. And when someone updates the packet password through   
    WV> areafix it's converted to uppercase before storing in the   
    WV> configuration file. So on outgoing packet files the packet password is   
    WV> always uppercase only.   
      
   Oh the horror!  There are people out there that I interface with that don't   
   know that rule and insist on setting mixedcase.  Evil people.  Smelly people.    
   Ugly people...   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
