Well ... this is unreal ... mailbox parsing lower cases EVERYTHING that
comes in ... then the code uppercases the proposal only (for checksum
work) ... so here I am trying to find all the strupr and strlwr calls, 
only to
find that at the very beginning when any station connects, the mailbox
parsing itself (the first module to get the incoming data) lower cases all
of it. This gets more 'interesting' every day ....

    let's lower case evertyhing, oh wait, then upper case some of it, then
   lowercase other parts, then let's rebuild the entire proposal, the upper
    case the rebuild, all the while the BID is hidden in there somewheres.

This is going to take a bit more time, this is scary, all I want to do 
is preserve
the case of the BID ... I'm actually afraid of destroying the code now :]
