    From Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Thu Jul 2 21:40:51 2026

    Modified Files:
    src/xpdev/dirwrap.c
    Log Message:
    getfilecase(..., true) return false if the path is a file (not a directory)

    SCFG uses getdircase() which calls getfilecase(..., true) to determine if the specified path is a directory (and fix its case if wrong). The underlying function returned true on *nix even if the path was a file (without wildcards) and not a directory, but worked as expected on Windows.

    This caused exporting message lists (e.g. to ../data/areas.bbs) to not prompt for overwrite/append but just complain that the "Directory exists" (when it
    was not actually a directory).
