   Hello again, g00r00!

   To answer myself -- no, not for %2 in the Pack Cmd, as Mystic uses wildcards   
   when compressing e.g. the file lists, which would then become verbatim, and   
   zip won't perform any wildcard expansion on its own.   
      
   But this should be as OK as possible:   
      
   Pack Cmd ³ zip -qj9 "%1" %2   
   Unpack Cmd ³ unzip -oqqjC "%1" "%2" -d "%3"   
      
   Best regards
