  • BinkIT case sensitivity

    From Chris Johnson@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Wed Dec 20 17:49:05 2023

    BinkIT requires lower case alpha characters when considering FLO/CLO/HLO etc. It requires lower case in both the name and extension.

    Using a utility like Joe DeRosa's 'Please', which creates the FLO/CLO/HLO files in upper case, BinkIt will produce the following error:

    "Unexpected file path 'C:\sbbs\echo\outbound\00DA0370.FLO expected C:\sbbs\outbound\00da0370.FLO'"

    Renaming the file to the 'expected' name of 00da0370.FLO produces the following error:

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

    Renaming the file to 00da0370.flo produces a successful callout.

    The wiki currently states that "Hexadecimal numbers can be made from either upper or lower case letters (A-F), so case is not significant.", but the binkit.js lists this as a known limitation.

    Did you try 00DA0370.flo? It's possible that the wiki is correct.

    That produces the following error:

    12/20 10:34:11p BINKOUT Unexpected file path 'C:\sbbs\echo\outbound\00DA0370.flo' expected 'C:\sbbs\echo\outbound\00da0370.flo' (skipped)

    Hrm, I can't find that quote in the [Binkit page.](https://wiki.synchro.net/module:binkit?s[]=binkit)

    I think the wiki page he was referring to was this one: https://wiki.synchro.net/ref:fidonet_files
