   I understand but unfortunately I cannot fix something in a version I released   
   2 years ago without a time machine, so there is little I can do for you   
   without upgrading! ;)

   Linux allows spaces in filenames so the underscores are not needed. :)   
      
   I believe what you've shown was just a logging bug in A46 that was fixed long   
   ago and that it should still work even without upgrading, but I could be   
   remembering it wrong.   
      
   But to reiterate: Most likely the filename in the .TIC file does not match the   
   case of the actual file on disk.  In Linux they must be exact matches. If your   
   TIC says TEST.ZIP and you have test.zip on your disk, it will not toss.   
      
   In A48 there is now an option to allow case insensitive TIC tossing and it   
   defaults to being enabled so it will just work! :)   
      
    AS> As far as I know, A47 users are also affected by the same problem, so it   
    AS> seems to me that this problem is not fixed yet. As I said, it would be   
      
   I set up a test today to try this in Linux over my lunch break and it works   
   for me.   
      
   I think more than anything the filenames being case sensitive in Linux throws   
   people off but that will be a thing of the past in A48 with the ignore_case   
   option enabled.   
      
   Here is a paste from the log of a BBS installed on Ubuntu so you can see it   
   working for me, no underscores etc required.
