Hi Paul,

You can't enter mixed or lowercase into the configuration program, only
uppercase. And when someone updates the packet password through areafix it's
converted to uppercase before storing in the configuration file. So on outgoing
packet files the packet password is always uppercase only.

Bye, Wilfred.
