      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 0e4252e1       REPLY: 2:201/137 e3aaa626       TZUTC: 0200       Hello again, g00r00!              'On 03 Aug 2021, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...        BW> Shouldn't these % variables all be quoted? Like:        BW>         BW> Pack Cmd ³ zip -qj9 "%1" "%2"        BW> Unpack Cmd ³ unzip -oqqjC "%1" "%2" -d "%3"        BW>         BW> ...to be on the safe side? It seems to be that way for the other        BW> archivers.              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       Bj”rn       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/07/31 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 428 452 550 700 981 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 282/464 1038 292/854 8125 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 341/66 342/200 396/45 633/280 712/848 920/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 3634/24 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
