Android is based on Linux and from what I have read, the handset/tablet manufacturers uses case sensitive file systems (Ext4/YAFFS2/RFS/etc) for their internal storage and case insensitive file systems (FAT32/VFAT/etc) for their external storage (SDCARD).

This is a great point Sylvain, this is a common weakness of Linux; just kidding, it's clearly a strength, after all "a" is not "A", is it?). The weird thing is that go71b does let you pick that file with UC and it seems to work, just not completely. My guess is the file picker 'dialog' tool for the app handles it both with UC and LC, but the internal routines use default Android APIs which presume one is using LC, or perhaps that although handled on input, it is not converted for subsequent use.

Anyhow, now that's figured out, it's very easy and consistent to import and install any image, including my custom JPC ROM image, which adds several key LEX files (ROMCOPY, HLPLEX, DISLEX, etc.).

Thanks for this observation, I believe this is exactly the issue underlying the problem I encountered. I would report it to Olivier, however he will likely point out that the documentation indeed says to use "rom" rather than ROM, lol.
