Should BinkIT care about the case of alpha characters when considering FLO/CLO/HLO etc files?

I've found a copy of Joe DeRosa's 'Please' utility that creates files for Binkley, but the alpha characters are in upper case. BinkIT refuses to process them as a result. For example: if I run the command 'Please poll 1:218/880', the resulting file that is created is 00DA0370.FLO. When BINKOUT runs, it produces an error message stating:

Unexpected file path 'C:sbbs\echo\outbound\00DA0370.FLO expected C:\sbbs\outbound\00da370.FLO'

So I manually change the name to 00da370.FLO and run BINKOUT again. This time it returns an error message stating:

Unknown flow file flavour 'C:\sbbs\echo\outbound\00da0370.FLO'

So I then change it to 00da0370.flo, run BINKOUT again and boom...a successful poll.

Should BinkIT care about case? Just curious.

Thanks!

Nevermind, decided to check the binkit.js and it's right there as a known limitation.

Thanks anyway.

"use the source, Luke" :-)

Still, that should be fixed. Mind creating a gitlab issue to track that?

LOL! Sure thing. As soon as I put the co-dependent bird to bed, I'll go out there and log it. :)

Thanks!
