    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Saturday, February 24, 2024 20:35:26
    I use the .diz extension when I need to create and upload a zip file to the BBS. Winserver
    used to read that file to automatically add the descriptions to the file when I upload it. It
    is no longer working as it should.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Also, using Windows 11, I try to create the .diz file using a text editor. Unlike Windows 10,
    11 saves it as a .txt file not as a .diz file like it should.

    I guess Windows 11 takes some getting used to.

    As far as I remember, are exist programs for creating and editing DIZ files

    Hi Mike

    You can save this without the txt file extension in the standard text Editor in Win 10/11.

    Thanks. What I am doing now is to make a copy of one and edit it when necessary. It is working for me.
