I don't recall changing       the version of libarchive used with SBBS between v3.20 and current dev       (v3.21a) - so that's surprising.              Maybe send me a copy of one of the files so I can take a look-see?              You could also use the archive.js script (with jsexec) to test the files with       libarchive.       --         digital man (rob)              Breaking Bad quote #38:       Don't drink and drive, but when you do, call Saul.       Norco, CA WX: 82.3øF, 55.0% humidity, 12 mph W wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 550 700 705 240/1120 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           |
