Hello again, Avon!

It appears that FTS-5006.001 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5006.001) states:

   File

     The name of the file to be distributed. The name must be in
     8x3 DOS format. If an Lfile keyword is also specified, the
     8x3 file name may be automatically derived from the long
     file name by the file processor hatching the file. The algorithm
     is left to the implementation.

     Example:  File REGION28.208

     This is a required keyword.

   Lfile

     The name of the file in long file format.

     Note that few file processors will recognise this Keyword.
     Your milage may vary when attempting to distribute files
     with long file names.

     Example: Lfile Longfilename.extension

     This is an optional keyword.

So it might be that HTick needs to be told to output Lfile keywords, too, if possible. Can you spot any options for that?

The TIC file contained this (no Lfile keyword):

File MyGUI137.zip
Replaces MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip

Still, it might be an idea to check with g00r00 if mutil FileToss has support for Lfile in TICs?

Best regards
Zip
