think he is talking about the case in the file listing itself, I had to change the case in all my files.bbs listing to get addfiles.js to import correctly, if the files.bbs has the file listed in uppercase, and the file is in lowercase on the system it would not recognize it for me, and vice-versa, so I wrote a script to change the files.bbs. there may had been an easier way around it, but I could'nt find it.
