I see now where it goes wrong, as usual with Linux it's case. Upper case RETRONET has a lower case file in it, but MUTIL looks for upper case only!

It 'sees' RETRONET.Z67 and extracts nothing. Yet:

pi@dmz:/mystic $ unzip -l files/rtn_nodelist/RETRONET.Z67

Yes I suspect something like that but that's why I was curious to see how
your system reported the nodelist file name in the compressed fsxNet file and also the nodefile lines you're using and the case(s) you have stated in your nodefile line(s) for retronet :)

FSXNET is all upper case in the zip instead of mixed case as in the RETRONET. That's why FSXNET works. I looked at archive & protocol editors and I don't
see the line mutil uses so I think it's a fixed line within mutil:

It shows 'unzip -oqqjC' the C should mean case insensitive, but it doesn't
work in this case for unknown reasons. The line looks right, but I'm not sure of that qq in there. It's from Archive Editor: Info-ZIP Utilities Unpack Cmd line. I suspect that 'qq' troughs it off, I'll test that.
Nope, no help - also didn't seem to hurt it either. Seems we have to fix the source or unzip it before hand and fix the case. Yup, that worked. You need
to unzip it in the rtn_nodelist directory and fix the case with:
mv retronet.267 RETRONET.267
Then it works. You don't have to change the archive, but it is a one time fix. Carlos will have to change it next time he sends it out now that we know
about it. It appears to be a bug in the unzip program itself (the C
option isn't working).

So I went through all the FSX_NETS files and if you unzip them and rename
them to match below most will work:
pi@dmz:/mystic/files/fsx_nets $ ls
CYBERNET.NA DNET0716.191 HAPPYNET.226 RETRONET.ZIP VKRADIO.ZIP CYBERNET.ZIP DNET0716.ZIP HAPPYNET.ZIP VKRADIO.197
I suspect that CYBERNET.NA will work if we give it a number for an extension.
I didn't bother since the rest work now:
