      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 2:201/137 20a83251       TZUTC: 0100       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:              --------------------- MUTIL v1.12 A48 2022/01/11 Fri, Jan 21 2022 (loglevel 3)       /../       + 2022-01-21 21:18:09 Process: Toss FDN/TIC Files       + 2022-01-21 21:18:10 Waiting for BUSY nodes       + 2022-01-21 21:18:13 Tossing 1cfa97w8.tic       /../       + 2022-01-21 21:18:13 File MyGUI137.zip Area FSX_MUTL From 21:1/100       - 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!
