 +===== Filenames =====
 +Filenames should contain US-ASCII characters only. While some methods of adding files to filebases may support adding filenames
 +that include CP437 characters, that should be avoided/discouraged. The allowed filename characters for files uploaded by users
 +is configurable by the sysop in SCFG->File Options.
 + 
 +==== Case-insensitivity ====
 +The original case (upper/lower) of alphabetic characters in filenames is stored in the filebases
 +(index and header files), however, storage of the same (duplicate) filename, differing
 +only in case, is intentionally not supported.
