Hey Oli!

I'm fairly certain I just said that. ;)

By reading exactly what he had posted, that didn't seem to be the case... See
below.

I'm just going by what he originally said:

--- Quote
In Binkd I named the other networks Amiganet, Fsxnet, and so on.  But the
paths the outgoing stuff was written to was set to /fido/amiganet,
/fido/fsxnet and
so on.

Naturally, Binkd was looking in /fido/Fsxnet.xxx and /fido/Amiganet.xxx.
--- End Quote

Notice there were no extensions in the first sentence.

If his "stuff" was being /written/ to directories /without/ hex extensions,
that is NOT binkd's doing, it is Crashmail. If he meant to say "But the paths
the outgoing stuff was written to was set to /fido/amiganet.027,
/fido/fsxnet.015 and so on," then it was simply a case problem where he
defined his domains in binkd with uppercase first letters and lowercase first
letters in Crashmail. However, that is NOT what he originally said. I gave him
an answer to what he originally said.

If what he said was wrong, then my answer was wrong, too. One can only go by
what is written when trying to help.

Regards,
Nick
