Are you sure about that? I (and others) have had no problem importing using list files that are lowercase using addfiles.js. Addfiles.js was created in the past couple of years, not "in the days of DOS BBSing", so it definitely is expecting any case of list files you throw at it.

Are you sure that's the problem? What makes you think so?

Let's solve the problem with your list files. If there's a problem with addfiles.js, I'd like to know about it and fix it.
