That is funny, I never received the message posted by Mike ...

The DOS application is not something I ever worked on ... I may be
taking it 
over.  Aside from these points it seems that a simple fptransfer to a
file, 
ftp file to unix and fptransfer from file should do the trick.

As far as case sensitive, my guess is that the problem will rise if the
cases
were not observed within the code or menu scripts.  

Am I mistaken?

Thanks,
