 KW> According to http://ftsc.org/docs/frl-1034.001:

 KW> Name of flow file is formed from network and node number
 KW> of remote
 KW> system, expressed as 4 hexadecimal digits each,
 KW> zero-padded on the
 KW> left. Thus information concerning to node 104/36 is
 KW> stored in flow
 KW> and control files with name "00680024" with dreites
 KW> extension.
 KW> Hexadecimal digits must be lower case if it is supported
 KW> by OS file
 KW> system.

 KW> Is there a way to force Allfix to use lower-case
 KW> characters in .*lo file names?

Because Allfix 5 was written for dos in the DOS days, it defaults everything to 
uppercase. Even the original 6 code had that. THis is also one of the things 
that v7 is changing is to see if the OS is case sensitive.

I know with the binkd verion I run, there are options in the config file that 
will translate the case for me from upper to lower. I am not familure with your 
program so Im not sure if there are options within there to allow for the 
translation of filenames.
