Hello again, g00r00!

On 06 Aug 2021, Björn Wiberg said the following...

both?

I also noticed that after trying to (I)mport the FILE_ID.DIZ, there's a
leftover in the temp directory:

bbs@glimmer:~/mystic$ find temp1/ -exec ls -l '{}' \;
total 0
-rw-rw-rw- 1 bbs bbs 486 aug  5 19:59 temp1/._FILE_ID.DIZ

bbs@glimmer:~/mystic$ file temp1/._FILE_ID.DIZ
temp1/._FILE_ID.DIZ: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file

...which might be due to the fact that the archive appears to have been created 
on a Mac? Each file appears to come with a "companion" file, e.g.:

     467  Defl:N      208  56% 2021-08-05 19:59 bfa9b96f  FILE_ID.DIZ
     486  Defl:N      354  27% 2021-08-05 19:59 41668813
__MACOSX/._FILE_ID.DIZ

But I don't get that file if I manually try to unpack the file with unzip, so
perhaps the (I)mport DIZ function does something extra which results in that
file being extracted, too...

The ZIP file in question can (temporarily) be downloaded from here if you would 
like to take a peek at it:

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
Björn
