Hi Apam,

The tech specs were made in the DOS era, so filename case sensitivity wasn't an
issue before. We can adjust the handling of SUB names in network2/subs.cpp to
make them all upper to anticipate software sending lowercase SUB names or
stype. Feel free to open an issue on github regarding this so we don't forget
about it. :)

I've also been wrangling with some issues in SUB add/drop request processing so
this work is in that area.

Thanks for pointing this out!
