Thats not quite how it works.  It does not look for FILE_ID.DIZ - what it does changes based on the file and whether or not Mystic can internally handle the archive format (ie ZIP, LZH/LHA, RAR).

It opens the file and does an archive listing to find the .diz or .ans file and then attempts to extract the file name that it finds.

If it cannot find a file by internally looking at its archive data then
Mystic will try to extract "file_id.*" and then search for an .ans file and finally a .diz file.  None of it is upper case.

This allows it to handle all types of file variations in case sensitive systems such as "file_id.diz, FILE_ID.DIZ, File_ID.Diz and so on.
