I haven't used VT100, so I don't know whether is has such an options, but if you set literal file names on the unix side, it should at least avoid having the second period turned into an "x" (that's being done at the unix end). I don't know where the case change is ocurring, but I suspect it's at the Amiga end. If you use Amiga C-Kermit (available from Columbia University for free, and I think it's on a Fish Disk, too), you get the SET FILE NAMES LITERAL command, so that should avoid the case problem, too. Hope this helps. Davide P. Cervone University of Rochester Computing Center Rochester, New York DPVC@UORDBV.BITNET DPVC@UR-TUT.UUCP
