Correct!  The filelist had names in all CAPS, like DOS would have treated
them but, for some reason, the actual names on the CD were all in lowercase.
I probably was not clear enough about the issue -- the "DOS BBSing" comment
was about the CD and not about addfiles.

This was with a Nightowl CD.  The others I was working with were Simtel.
For whatever reason (maybe because their ftp sites weren't running DOS!),
the filelists had the names in the correct case (lower) that matched the data
on the CD.
