[FIXED] PACL 7.00 b1 file extension upper case problem

[Micke]

Hi!
I have found out something interesting in the PACL 7.00 b1 version. I haven't tested this in PACL 6.01 yet, so I can't tell if this only happends in PACL 7.00 b1.

Anyway, here's a list of files I've been using for tests.

Pay attention to the file names REFSCAN that have the file extension in upper case (.PCX).

I the try to create a zip archive with all the PCX files in it.

C:\PACL_Test\Amiga>pacomp -a Test2.zip REFSCAN*.PCX

Still no success, I then try specify the file extension in lower case like REFSCAN*.pcx

As you can see, filenames with file extension in upper case can't be added to a zip archive.

I then change to another folder that also had some .pcx files in it.

Try add the files and use file names like *.pcx

If I instead write *.PCX as filenames this happends

Now It seems logic that the program treats .pcx and .PCX as different file extensions, but if the file extension for some reason is stored in upper case, why can't the program add them to the archive?

Kind Regards
