Subj : Re: LHZ/LZH for Windows (typo?), 7Z for Linux, and viewing of LZH and To : g00r00 From : Bj”rn Wiberg Date : Mon Aug 02 2021 08:20 pm Hello g00r00!

This was what I am experimenting with: Active ³ Yes Extension ³ 7Z OS ³ Linux Description ³ CUSTOM: 7-ZIP Pack Cmd ³ 7z a -y "%1" "%2" Unpack Cmd ³ 7z e -y -o"%3" "%1" "%2" View Cmd ³ 7z l -y "%1" >> "%3%2" The output from 7z, however, does not seem to be very well suited for formatted display, as it includes a lot of diagnostics. And the first time you (V)iew it, a red cursor from the File Listing might turn all content output red. :) The extraneous output can be skipped with an undocumented -ba switch (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/61654375), yielding output on the form: 2021-08-02 19:33:08 ....A 5 9 test.txt ....however Mystic displays nothing then, so perhaps it is expecting something more than just simple lines like that (and possibly in a different format). Like you say, perhaps something for the future... I think I'll ditch the viewing experiment for now. :) (I wonder if it is working on Windows? One would think that output should be similar there, with similar problems...) Perhaps it might be a good idea to configure the archiver for all *but* viewing, so that it at least can be used for compressed file lists, QWK packets etc. g0> functions/viewing that Mystic can do. If you find a LZH/LHA file that g0> you cannot view feel free to e-mail it to me so I can take a look at it. Sure, this was the one I tested with: https://sourceforge.net/projects/thegwolibrary/files/gwo-winxp/gwo0.11/gwo0.11- sample-win32.lzh/download g0> There is no enabled setup for ARJ by default in Mystic but if you want to g0> create a view default feel free to do so and send it over, like any other g0> archiver. Tried getting this to work, but didn't quite succeed -- Tried with: View Cmd ³ arj l -y "%1" ....which resulted in: ARJ32 v 3.10, Copyright (c) 1998-2004, ARJ Software Russia.

I guess >> "%3%2" should redirect output to a temporary file, and Mystic's archive viewer reads that (if it exists). Are there any specs on what kind of output format it can "parse"? Because I guess all archivers are different? Otherwise I'll stick with non-viewing of ARJ archives for the time being (but enabled the archiver to be able to pack/unpack for stuff like file lists and QWK). :) Best regards Bj”rn --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/07/31 (Linux/64) * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137) .
