   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Hope all is well!   
      
   I just noticed that when Mystic's TIC import imports a TIC file with:   
      
   Desc Micronet Information Network nodelist for   
   Desc 14 July 2023 (day 195).   
      
   ...the resulting lightbar file listing shows:   
      
    03 MICRONET.Z95                                                  8KB 07/14/23   
                                14 July 2023 (day 195).   
                                À Uploader: Mystic TIC   
      
   ...i.e. only the last line. I guess that is according to FRL-1039.001 specs   
   (http://ftsc.org/docs/frl-1039.001)? On the other hand, I also found   
   FSC-0087.001 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fsc-0087.001) which mentions CRLF   
   termination and 80 characters per line (implying the possibility of multiple   
   lines)... Just checking with you. =)   
      
      
   Anyway, and related to this -- after manually hitting (E)dit --> (I)mport DIZ   
   --> (Q)uit --> quitting the file listing and then listing it again, the   
   following is displayed:   
      
    03 MICRONET.Z95                                                  8KB 07/14/23   
                                Micronet Information Network nodelist for   
                                14 July 2023 (day 195).   
                                À Uploader: Mystic TIC   
      
   ...because the archive contains a FILE_ID.DIZ.   
      
   This then made me wonder why the FILE_ID.DIZ wasn't imported in the first   
   place by the TIC import.   
      
   It appears that the TIC import only considers file_id.diz and not FILE_ID.DIZ   
   (tested this by comparing with another TIC that also arrived recently but had   
   file_id.diz instead of FILE_ID.DIZ).   
      
   I think that the TIC import should check for both case variants and pick   
   any/one. Could you please check in the source code if some changes would be   
   necessary there?   
      
   Many thanks in advance!   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
