Sorry to say that, but to me this does not sound like an good
compatibility enhancement. Because the old systems could not handle lower
case names, it interprets lower cases as uppercase. At least, that's what
the docs say. So, when I code an "open file selector" for old Ataris, I
would also pass lower case file ext, because I think: "that doesn't
matter". I assume many programs pass lower case, but mean upper case.

Just my 2 cent..
