I wonder if the extension has to be UPPER CASE for it to fail like th I know that the files that I could not get to display were entirely i uppercase. This was true for ANS and TXT and other text files too. the extension was upper case, it would not display the file.

OK, put GY-GLUE1.ANS in to an archive called mixcase.zip and it worked fine. Is the problem with the zip file being all upper case or the ANSI file in it being all upper case? I have several versions in my local
ansi area and saw no problems with the V command under A31 on the Pi,

Well, if I can view the files in the archive, I can't see it being an issue
if the archive is UPPER or MiXeD case or not.

I'll have to scout around for some files where I saw this happening. I think that griskakare had uploaded some impure artpacks and maybe some other older artpacks, and I think those were where I was seeing the issue.

Ok, it was easier to find a problematic file than I thought it would be.

If you go to my file base and go to the ansi art directory, and list files,
the very first file will serve as a good example. It is "123-01.zip". The filename is in lower case, but all the files in it are in upper case. As you can see from the unzip list, they are all upper case.

# unzip -l 123-01.zip
Archive: 123-01.zip
Length Date Time Name
--------- ---------- ----- ----
156 2000-03-14 00:50 123.NFO
2756 2000-03-13 17:35 _A-RIAO.ANS
53 2000-03-13 17:28 FILE_ID.DIZ
1245 2000-03-14 00:47 TRIP-123.ASC
--------- -------
4210 4 files

But when I view the list in the archive viewer, and select any one, and hit enter to view, nothing happens.

Whats interesting tho, is that if there is an all upper case file in the listing, and I select V to view it, it will view it ok. So it seems to be limited to the archive viewer.

What is equally funny, is I can look in an archive, like b7-007.zip, and see mixed and lower case files. But I can view each of those files with no problem... even the UPPER CASE files, like FILE_ID.DIZ.

You've got something wrong like archive.dat or the like. I downloaded three
of the files and put them in my Local files ANSI and they work on my BBS. I'm using A31 on the Pi under Raspbian. Check archive.dat vs a fresh install.

As well as archive.dat if it's a pretty new install of Raspbian it will be missing zip:
sudo apt-get update #make sure your current
sudo apt-get install zip
I usually have a /nmystic for as a fresh install and do
diff -s /nmystic/data/archive.dat /mystic/data/archive.dat #to check it.

Did you check them out while on Cyberia too, to see if it behaves differently than on yours?

Check archive.dat vs a fresh install.

That could very well be the reason. I know that upgrading from all the
alphas doesn't always catch all the changes. So maybe just copying a fres archives.dat file will do the trick. I know that I don't modify them since I tend to go with what works. But maybe I never added a required change.

That would have been discovered log ago when I couldn't unzip mail packets.
If it works for zipped mail packets, it should work for the others. so the question would be; are all the other less-used archivers working?
