Flipper sounds like a dolphin (or a part of one :
)
And I don't think it would be a good iedea to change a Walker's name to Jumper each time he jumps up. This would cause the name to flicker like hell in certain levels.
But back to Linux:
I had a look at the extraction code and found two placed where I converted the whole path to lower case where I wanted to convert only the file name. I tried this version with Knoppix and it worked with a resource (target) directory containing capital letters.
The source (WINLEMM) directory always contained capital letters, but as it's an NTFS partition, I'm not sure if capital letters are preserved.
Anyway, give the new version a try. It also fixes two other errors, one of them found while testing under Linux.
Fixes/changes 0.64 -> 0.65
# Swapped Walker/Faller strings. Was overlooked when cleaning up lemming.ini for 0.64
# Lemmini wouldn't work on Linux if the resource or game directory used capital letters. Should be fixed now.
# Width of yellow frame in MiniMap was derived from Screen resolution, not from window's width. Fixed.
