Hmm. Strange.

I have to use a DOS-based program to export bundles. I wouldn't have this
problem, if I had IMP-MAIL (Impulse tosser) for Linux. But, I don't. I was
able to keep the Linux pathnames with this string in binkd.conf:

ftrans "\\" "/" # this replaces all slashes in a path

So, with that string, I have Linux path names for the bundles. Now, i'm
fooling around with the "ftrans" commands in binkd.conf to translate the
uppercase bundles to lowercase bundles, but i'm not exactly certain on how to
do this.

Here's an example:

ftrans
"/home/imp/hpt/outbound/[0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z][0-9A-Z
][0-9A-Z].[STFMW][OUAHER][0-9]"
"[0-9a-z][0-9a-z][0-9a-z][0-9a-z][0-9a-z][0-9a-z][0-9a-z][0-9a-z].[stfwm][ouahe
r][0-9a-za-a].[stfmw][ouaher[0-0]"


Thanks,
Joseph
