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).
                             À 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).
                             À 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
Bj”rn
