To the dev gods of WWIV,

I've been slowly working to get almost 10tb of files onto WWIV but it's been
rather impossible.  What I've found are two things, one my fault, one
just a limitation at this point:

1.  In Linux obviously make sure user:group's are right and file
permissions.  Check, done.
2.  It appears that the //upload or //uploadall command is not recognizing
lowercase or lower_case or lower-case or MixedCase and definetly not
extended_long_file_names_such_as_nix_does.zip .. IF the files are
ALLUPPER.ZIP they upload like a charm.

Oh and a possible third:

3.  It seems to not like my fast drives and processor when doing mass
uploads.  Each time I rerun it, it seems to acknowledge a new file it handn't
the previous try.  Again only those in full UPPER.ZIP case.

I wish I knew where to look to make these changes or had more experience with
C but .. all I can do atm is try to get up to speed and in the mean time
report what I see as possible opportunities to make WWIV Great again ;)
