Hi,

is there anyplace where it is defined, what a valid fidonet conference name is (syntactically). 

I would suspect, that it has to be latin letters only plus numbers and a few special chars and matching the name is case-insensitve!?

Also, in my world conference names should be presented as uppercase. 

Background: I am rewriting part of the areas management code in winpoint and ran into some interesting corner cases ...  

Bis denne ...
