"Problematic" links

Salvador Bosch (sbosch@ctv.es)
Dear Mr. Velimirovic:

    I've known your excellent magazine across through your web page in
Internet; at last it has one review about chess problems in The Net!
    Your Glosary section is very interesting  for new problemists wich
have very dificulties  to meet information about the terms employed in
the chess problems world. I encourage you for to extend it.

    I want to do you an observation  about the download version (.zip)
of the magazine:  the links that contain  the html documents appear in
lower case and its extension is .html as long as the document names of
the uncompresed files are in upper case and its extension is .HTM.
    This doesn't cause any problem in MS-DOS / Windows, but it does in
other  Operating Systems such as UNIX (many people use Linux).  It can
solve easily storing  the files in  lower case and extension .html, or
(whorse) changin  the links to upper case  and its extension  to .HTM.
Both solutions perform with any Operating System.

Thank you, Salvador!

I have been working on MS-DOS/Windows platform for many years, so I completely forgot about that point. In spite you wrote that it was worse alternative, it was easier for me to uppercase all filenames and all references in texts. I hope that now it will be OK for all platforms, if not please let me know and I will try to do all the necessary changes.
