Hi
I was playing with a Warp 4.52 VM and I noticed that when I file has multiple dots on a file it does not get recognized.
Like "AFile.cool.awesome.zip" is not recognized as a zip in the WPS.
ArcaOS does not has that problem. What is the trick for it?
I promise this time I will write it down to don't ask again. ;D
Regards

Martin,
What has worked for me in the past is to set the association up for '*ZIP'.
The obvious problem with that approach is that now ANYTHING that ends with a ZIP will be recognized as a ZIP file.
So subsequently I have played the game of enabling: *.*.ZIP, *.*.*.ZIP, *.*.*.*.ZIP, etc...grrh...dumb and tedious, to say the least.

A patched dll included in ArcaOS. Or was it XWP? Unfortunately I don't remember the details anymore. But a reminder that's not always fun to play with very old software ;-)
