I agree with you, Bob. As C is a case sensitive language, any legal identifier used in 'documentation' MUST have the same case as in the sources. And even in cases where case is formally not relevant, I tend to enforce it anyway for consistency and readability reasons. And the C_echo might be considered 'documentation'.

It is available in the UK Jon, IIRC it gets to here through 2502/0, 440/1 and 254/60 before that. I'm guessing at names but 254/60 smells a lot like Dave Carter and 440/1 looks like either Colin Spice or Keith Wassell the RC. 2502/0 is Kev Baillie.
