    I wonder if you have received something with an archive format you don't have setup there? Do you still have the bundle and can you tell what it was archived with?

    It's a bundle from my CNet Amiga board.. Supposed to be in zip format.. I am wondering now if it saved it in lha format, gonna put that in the archive
    list now...

    Yep, you'll need a compatible archive type between those two systems, or send plain old .PKTs between them.

    That's part of the problem I need to send plain old pkts but can't figure out how on either end.. Jeez, I feel like such a dope sometimes..

    Did you see my post earlier about MUTIL crash, I wonder if this is the same system?

    Nope, your not a dope. I've been hurt by archiver configuration a number of times over the years.. :)

    I would ask CNet sysops how they handle that situation. They have probably covered that ground already.

    That very well could be the same issue, I am getting some weird screen, end
    of central directory signature something can't make it out as it just keeps flashing it... Then shuts down.. I have to restart this system, (It's not
    fully ready for prime time) I am going to try something else. Thanks Guys...

    end of central directory signature

    That sounds like unzip is trying to decompress an incomplete file, or a file that is not zipped (lha maybe). If you can determine what that bundle is (zip, lha or something else) that will be a good start to solving the problem.

    If you like you can email or netmail me that bundle and I'll try to figure out what it is..

    OK, I'll keep an eye out and let you know what I see.

    One other thing I can think of.. Mystic has definitions for LZH and LHA in the default archiver setup but they may be disabled by default. I don't remember now so check that they are enabled and that you have LHA on your path or Mystic directory.

    I'm thinking it's just that, I am seeing that it uses 7zip to unarchive lzh
    and lha files.. I don't have 7zip on the drive.. So I am going to work on
    this, for some reason even binkd is working. It is sending and receiving
    files. Right now it's just echo's not posting, they are being sent. and Email not being tossed on the Mystic side.. I am toast right now, been working on getting a WinUAE running with OS 4.1 since 6:30 and it is JUST now starting to install.. So I am going to play around some in the background.. I'll let you know how it works..

    If you use a lha on your pc to send to the amiga, you will need to limit the compression level to 5 (ie: o5), as the amiga version of lha hasn't been updated to handle
    the newer level's.

    The best option is to send the amiga raw *.pkt files.
