BinkIT case sensitivity

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.
