Should BinkIT care about the case of alpha characters when considering FLO/CLO/HLO etc files?

I've found a copy of Joe DeRosa's 'Please' utility that creates files for Binkley, but the alpha characters are in upper case.  BinkIT refuses to process them as a result.  For example: if I run the command 'Please poll 1:218/880', the resulting file that is created is 00DA0370.FLO.  When BINKOUT runs, it produces an error message stating:

Unexpected file path 'C:sbbs\echo\outbound\00DA0370.FLO expected C:\sbbs\outbound\00da370.FLO'

So I manually change the name to 00da370.FLO and run BINKOUT again.  This time it returns an error message stating:

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

So I then change it to 00da0370.flo, run BINKOUT again and boom...a successful poll.

Should BinkIT care about case?  Just curious.

Thanks!

... I have a really good memory, except it's short.
