Probably but why MysticBBS with Windows do not have trouble? Only the Linux
Based MysticBBS run always in trouble with spaces in the Filename.Probably
g00r00 can make a fix witch remove or replace spaces by _ bevor tossing this out
that Linux Sysops can be part of the Party without reverse engineering
all the times. I know it's retro but ther shut be a solutin in the 21th
