   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Thank you for your reply!

   Sorry, my fault (see one of my later replies) -- the Pack Cmd on Linux must   
   have %2 unquoted as zip on that platform does not perform its own wildcard   
   expansion. If quoted, compression of the file list for example will fail (it   
   will look for a file named "/home/bbs/mystic/tempX/*" i.e. a with a literal   
   *... Sadly.   
      
   Let's hope no one uses paths with spaces for their Mystic installation. :)   
      
   But the other unquoted ones (%1, %3) can and should probably be quoted.   
      
   Best regards
