Was afraid that was true. I guess I can take a look at the source and see
how involved adding a switch to get would be that would expand the pattern
matching on gets with wildcards; i.e.
kermit> get /binary /case-insensitive *.foo
Or take a look at writing a macro that would do the functional equivalent.

All too well I know that truth (I'm an old NFS guy). However as the files
in question originate in the windows world, and are transferred to the unix
server, the only worry I have is missing data because someone capitalizes a
file....

a meaningful portion of the net.
