    From Al@21:4/106 to apam on Tue Feb 11 11:12:02 2020
    Hello Apam,

    Is it possible to use a username instead of real names in drop files?

    It's not a big deal really, but it would be nice to use user names if
    possible.

    Ttyl :-),

    Depending on the dropfile, it takes usernames and real names and it's up
    to the door which one it uses. I suppose I could add an option to switch
    them around, but usernames are often one word, so not sure what would
    happen for those that want a "last name".

    Yep, I have one door here that I use ALIAS on the command line and it
    uses the alias instead of the real name, and another that asks what name
    you'd like to be know by. It's to bad more doors don't have options like
    that.

    If I had the option I'd use it, or at least try. I think some doors may
    fail to run without FIRST and LAST.
