      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet ef08d393       PID: OpenXP/5.0.49 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       Hello All..              Micronet decided to throw in a curveball.              For a couple of weeks now, this was working fine:              Listfile=micronet.###       UpdateFile=micronet.###       UpdateArchive=micronet.z##       DelUpdate=J       DoDiff=N       Format=1       zone=618              In otherwords, my bossnode was delivering micronet.zip with        micronet.### inside.              The last two updates processed automatically quite fine.              But I *just* received MICRONET.Z92, with micronet.092 inside.              At first, I thought this would be the solution:              Listfile=micronet.###       UpdateFile=micronet.###       UpdateArchive=MICRONET.Z##       DelUpdate=J       DoDiff=N       Format=1       zone=618              But that did NOT work in the automatic mode. :( Automatic mode        would normally kick in the NEXT TIME OpenXP is lauched. I was a        bit surprised by that. FSXNET.Z## which operates the same way        has not problem at all upadating automatically. I wondered..        WHY doesn't the MICRONET.Z## file cooperating?              The last FSXNET.Z## contains:              Archive: FSXNET.Z92        Length Date Time Name        -------- ---- ---- ----        36459 04/01/21 09:15 FSXNET.092        -------- -------        36459 1 file                     Looking inside MICRONET.Z##:              Archive: MICRONET.Z92       Micronet Information Network nodelist for       02 April 2021 (day 92). A friendly       and active international BBS mail network.       Info on how to join is in the nodelist.        Length Date Time Name        -------- ---- ---- ----        26735 04/02/21 13:35 micronet.092        165 04/02/21 13:47 file_id.diz        -------- -------        26900 2 files              SO.. the difference is that the latter has TWO files inside.              Could it be that the presence of file_id_diz is throwing off the        automatic processing to work as expected?              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! --> . <-- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
