   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Hope all is well with you!

   You probably know this already :), but the latest prealpha (which is a couple   
   of days old now) appears to disallow anything with a path (slash) in it at the   
   archive (V)iewer (D)ownload File Name prompt, i.e. it does not even call the   
   archiver (e.g. tar) if you enter a path as part of the filename.   
      
   So, kind of a regression there, as the one from Aug 08 allowed a path (but did   
   not perform basename when locating the file to send to the user).   
      
   Just let me know if/when you want me to test something related to this (also   
   the new prompt), and I'll be happy to help!   
      
   Best regards
