Hello All..

Micronet decided to throw in a curveball.

For a couple of weeks now, this was working fine:

Listfile=micronet.###
UpdateFile=micronet.###
UpdateArchive=micronet.z##
DelUpdate=J
DoDiff=N
Format=1
zone=618

In otherwords, my bossnode was delivering micronet.zip with  
micronet.### inside.

The last two updates processed automatically quite fine.

But I *just* received MICRONET.Z92, with micronet.092 inside.

At first, I thought this would be the solution:

Listfile=micronet.###
UpdateFile=micronet.###
UpdateArchive=MICRONET.Z##
DelUpdate=J
DoDiff=N
Format=1
zone=618

But that did NOT work in the automatic mode. :(  Automatic mode  
would normally kick in the NEXT TIME OpenXP is lauched. I was a  
bit surprised by that.   FSXNET.Z## which operates the same way  
has not problem at all upadating automatically.  I wondered..  
WHY doesn't the MICRONET.Z## file cooperating?

The last FSXNET.Z## contains:

Archive:  FSXNET.Z92
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
    36459  04/01/21 09:15   FSXNET.092
 --------                   -------
    36459                   1 file


Looking inside MICRONET.Z##:

Archive:  MICRONET.Z92
Micronet Information Network nodelist for
02 April 2021 (day 92).  A friendly
and active international BBS mail network.
Info on how to join is in the nodelist.
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
    26735  04/02/21 13:35   micronet.092
      165  04/02/21 13:47   file_id.diz
 --------                   -------
    26900                   2 files

SO.. the difference is that the latter has TWO files inside.

Could it be that the presence of file_id_diz is throwing off the  
automatic processing to work as expected?
