Sorry, my fault (see one of my later replies) -- the Pack Cmd on Linux must have %2 unquoted as zip on that platform does not perform its own wildcard expansion. If quoted, compression of the file list for example will fail (it will look for a file named "/home/bbs/mystic/tempX/*" i.e. a with a literal *... Sadly.

Let's hope no one uses paths with spaces for their Mystic installation. :)

But the other unquoted ones (%1, %3) can and should probably be quoted.

Best regards
Bj”rn
