I don't think htick knows about the lfile keyword. My BBBS doesn't know about it either.

The lfile keyword is known and used by MBSE BBS.

MBSE always excepts files with the file keyword and when it sends files to
linked nodes it sends them with the file keyword in UPPER CASE. It also includes the lfile keyword as the file was recieved (MyGUI137.zip) but I don't know of any other software that recognizes it.

Now that the Filegate HQ is running MBSE this becomes more of an issue.

I suppose it's not really an issue, I just prefer file names that don't SHOUT at me.. :)

I'm going to write to the BBBS author and ask if he'll consider adding support for the lfile keyword. I don't like my chances but I suppose it's woth a try.

It would be a good thing today to support it.
