Hope this helps. DM> So far, yours is the only system I know of to have this issue (requiring DM> the ".exe" be added to executed zip and unzip command-lines on Windows). That figures :) I have no idea what changed to cause it. I haven't installed any new programs in windows, nor any new modifications in the computer. Only thing I have done is the update to sbbs.

DM> I'm not clear... are you describing a newly observed issue here? Yes, but only if you think it's related to the zip, unzip problem. As I said, I can not reproduce it, and it only happened once. It may have been just a fluke or something related to memory. I'm really not concerened at this point about it since I can't reproduce it. SysOp: C.G.
