Good afternoon,
I am running a DOS BBS system under DOSBOX-X. When the DOS tosser
(squish) creates the *.flo files, it is writing the filename out to
the flo in lowercase. However, DOSBOX-X is saving the mail archives
to the host OS system (linux) in UPPERCASE.
When binkd (on linux) tries an action on the flo file, it does not
find the matching dataset name and deletes the flo file without
sending the mail.
I have done some research and it sounds like the DOSBOX dev team
believes that writing in UPPERCASE is not a bug because DOS w/o LFN
support only supports UPPERCASE.
I have tried turning on LFN support and changing a couple of other
settings but none of them cause DOSBOX-X to write the dataset names
to the host OS system in lowercase.
Does anyone know if there is a trick to get DOSBOX-X to write files
to linux with lowercase names?
Is there a way to use the "ftrans" in the binkd.cfg file to cause it
to ignore the filename case that it finds in the flo files?
Couple of quick notes... I am using DOSBOX-X over dosemu because the
BBS software developer does not support dosemu because he doesn't use
linux, and I am using squish because the BBS software FTN "shim"
program doesn't work with crashmail.
Thanks!

I think I did have that problem once and the way I got around it was to
create a vfat filesystem for that directory.
That is another idea worth trying.
