   Nodelist processing

   So, I've come to one more issue to work on.    
      
   Before, I downloaded nodelist files initially by hand from a local BBS and   
   those were renamed to be all lowercase in the process of merging them into my   
   file base.   
      
   Now, I get them automatically from my feeds now, but those come in as ALLCAPS   
   NODELIST.Z##. When I changed my mutil ini I use for processing those, it   
   extracts the NODELIST.Z## files, but merges nothing, likely because it unzips   
   them to all lowercase.    
      
   How can this problem be solved in a proper manner, rather than having to copy   
   the nodelist from the filebase to a temp directory, rename it lowercase there,   
   and have it just work that way? This method seems a bit overkill for something   
   that should be able to just work in-place as it's intended to be able to be   
   done.
