   Hello g00r00!   
      
   I just wanted to check with you how/if mutil FileToss handles long   
   filenames/filenames with spaces in "Replaces" in TICs?   
      
   Given a TIC containing (among other things):   
      
   File MyGUI137.zip   
   Replaces MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip   
      
   ...my *previous* A48 prealpha logged this when processing the TIC:

   - 2022-01-21 21:18:13      Replace "MyGUI"   
   + 2022-01-21 21:18:13      Added to "FSX_MUTL: Mystic BBS Utils, Mods, Etc."   
   /../   
      
   Of course it did not succeed in removing the file "MyGUI" (cut off at the   
   space and onward). :-D   
      
   Looking at FTS-5006.001 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5006.001), it appears that   
   there are no strict rules regarding lengths/characters for the "Replaces"   
   keyword.   
      
   Nevertheless, I wanted to mention this, in case you think it would be   
   something that could/should be handled differently in in future versions of   
   mutil FileToss. (I'm not sure how other TIC processors deal with long   
   filenames or filenames containing spaces or other special characters.)   
      
   P.S. You did a great job with the BINKP Auto option for filename escaping, and   
   the discussions got a happy ending, too, which is great! Keep up the good   
   work! D.S.   
      
   Best regards
