    BW> Upon strace inspection, it appears that Mystic is looking for   
    BW> file_id.diz but not FILE_ID.DIZ when importing (e.g. when choosing   
    BW> (E)dit --> (I)mport DIZ from a file listing). Perhaps it should check   
    BW> for both?   
      
   Thats not quite how it works.  It does not look for FILE_ID.DIZ - what it does   
   changes based on the file and whether or not Mystic can internally handle the   
   archive format (ie ZIP, LZH/LHA, RAR).   
      
   It opens the file and does an archive listing to find the .diz or .ans file   
   and then attempts to extract the file name that it finds.   
      
   If it cannot find a file by internally looking at its archive data then   
   Mystic will try to extract "file_id.*" and then search for an .ans file and   
   finally a .diz file.  None of it is upper case.   
      
   This allows it to handle all types of file variations in case sensitive   
   systems such as "file_id.diz, FILE_ID.DIZ, File_ID.Diz and so on.
