Hi Zazz,

I tested this, and you seem to be right and found a bug... :-( ;-)

These are the default values that are in the source and which are supposed to be set when you run FConfig for the first time without a fmail.cfg file present:

arc32   "PKArc.Com -a"
zip32   "PKZip.Exe -ex"
lzh32   "LHA.Exe a /m /o"
pak32   "Pak.Exe a /ST /P /WN"
zoo32   "Zoo.Exe aP:"
arj32   "ARJ.Exe a -e -u -y"
sqz32   "SQZ.Exe a /p3"
uc232   "UC.Exe a"
rar32   "RAR.Exe a -y -s -m5 -ep -std -cfg-"
jar32   "JAR.Exe a -y"

unArc32 "PKXArc.Com -r"
unZip32 "PKUnzip.Exe -o"
unLzh32 "LHA.Exe e /cm"
unPak32 "PAK.Exe E /WA"
unZoo32 "Zoo.Exe eO"
unArj32 "ARJ.Exe e -c -y"
unSqz32 "SQZ.Exe e /o1"
unUc232 "UC.Exe e"
unRar32 "RAR.Exe e -y -std -cfg-"
unJar32 "JAR.Exe e -y"

But these are the defaults from the DOS era. I currently use the infozip versions, with these command lines:

zip -jq9
unzip -ojq %a -d %f

These work on both Windows and Linux.


Bye, Wilfred.
