   Hello g00r00!   
      
   When downloading a file list, and choosing to compress it, Mystic appears to be   
   using a wildcard pointing to the temp directory instead of pointing out the   
   exact file (allfiles.txt) when creating the archive:   
      
   write(13, "2021.08.08 20:21:37 Archive: zip -qj9 \"/home/bbs/mys   
   ic/temp1/allfiles.ZIP\" -- /home/bbs/mystic/temp1/* > /dev/null 2>&1\n", 121)   
   = 121   
      
   [pid  8945] execve("/bin/sh", ["/bin/sh", "-c", "zip -qj9 \"/hom   
   /bbs/mystic/temp1/allfiles.ZIP\" -- /home/bbs/mystic/temp1/* > /dev/null   
   2>&1"], ["LANG=en_US.UTF-8", (cut)   
      
   Is there a reason for this (other than that it is convenient :-D)?   
      
   As this is what hinders %2 of the Pack Cmd for ZIP, ZOO and ARC to be quoted   
   ("%2"), as they then interpret the "*" verbatim.   
      
   Any left-overs in a temp directory for the node would also risk being added   
   to the archive, I think.   
      
   Does Mystic do this for other things as well (e.g. QWK)?   
      
   Just curious.   
      
   Thanks in advance!   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
