• Mystic TIC, multiple Desc lines, and file_id.diz/FILE_ID.DIZ

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Friday, July 14, 2023 08:27:58
    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).
    └ 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).
    └ 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
    Björn
