No idea about Allegro. With Lispworks 4.3.7 for Windows and a
directory d:/test/ with 2 files: AA.C01 and AA.PNG,

(directory #p"d:/test/AA.*") => (#P"d:\\test\\AA.C01" #P"d:\\test\\AA.PNG")
(directory #p"d:/test/aa.*") => (#P"d:\\test\\AA.C01" #P"d:\\test\\AA.PNG")

(directory #p"d:/test/A*.*") => (#P"d:\\test\\AA.C01" #P"d:\\test\\AA.PNG")
(directory #p"d:/test/*.*") => (#P"d:\\test\\AA.C01" #P"d:\\test\\AA.PNG")

So, Lispworks 4.3.7 for Windows has case-insensitive DIRECTORY.

Thanks a lot for looking into this.

Best wishes,
