ok... it looks like it needs some ""adjustment"" to
ensure it writes both, the file name on the disk and the one in the ?LO
file, in the same case... i doubt that it was ever envisioned that it would
run in a VM and that a case sensitive mailer would be processing the
files... in DOS, as you know, it doesn't care about the case of file
names... they are all returned in CAPS so when the ?LO file is read and the
file searched for, it is automatically found... this breaks down when using
two different file system access methods like this...

so there's several ways this might be fixed... the best would be to fix it
in hpt/dos so that it writes the file name in the ?LO in all caps like on
its file system... not the entire path to the file... only the file name...

of course another way, instead of adjusting the code, is to make your
message bases accessible from the *nix side and run hpt/linux instead of
hpt/dos for your mail processing... the theory is that it should work
properly... just ensure that all the file names used are in 8.3 format for
your message areas unless your DOS side has LFN capability...
