      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 58020.sync_sys@1:103/705 2c80bfea       PID: Synchronet 3.21a-Linux master/85dea2614 Apr 11 2025 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.25-Linux master/0c503c4ea May 04 2025 GCC 12.2.0       BBSID: VERT       CHRS: ASCII 1       FORMAT: flowed       open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/928              libarchive and zlib don't support legacy (pre-DEFLATED) ZIP compression       methods. But it can be done:              https://www.hanshq.net/zip2.html       https://github.com/jsummers/oldunzip/              This would allow the extraction and viewing or subsequent download of archived       files from legacy ZIP files.              Whether this is done as a patch to zlib or libarchive or something internal to       sbbs, it seems totally doable.       --- SBBSecho 3.25-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
