  • ZIP and UNZIP in Windows 10

    From The Godfather@21:1/101 to All on Thu Apr 23 16:41:53 2020
    So .... I have everything working great with netmail, etc. .. however mutil
    can not unzip any of the packets being received because PKZIP is not
    compatible with 64bit operating systems(?) Does anyone have a program or
    work around within windows 10 to unzip the packets received and zip the
    packets I need to send?

    Hello The,

    By default Mystic uses Info-Zip's zip.exe and unzip.exe. If you don't have those you can get a zip at..

    http://mysticbbs.com/downloads/w32arcs.zip

    I think the windows file manager will open that zip and you can put those files
    in your mystic directory or somewhere on your path.

    Ttyl :-),

    Look up info-zip, comes in native flavours for modern OSs.

    A1 got me in the right direction and all is working fantastic now. Now I
    just need to find docs on setting up FsxNet in config/menues/filebases. Once
    I have that done, I'm set! But thank you! I checked out your recommendation prior to your post, and the site that hosted the downloads had all mirrors "blcoked' and or "Unavailable." But thanks again for the input.

    Hmm, interesting. I've never had trouble finding Info-Zip in the past.
