Exactly, an O/S thing. Windows (and its predecessor DOS) are case insensitive for file names. Linux (which I run) is case sensitive - EOPC.txt and Epoc.txt are two entirely different names - and the program had an awful time with the apparently missing file. I don't know what would happen on a Mac, but if you have trouble, that's one place to look.
