In tinkering with some lzh archives I noticed two apparent problems with the filename downcasing done by archive-lzh-summarize. First, on an archive created by the lha for unix program, a file with an all uppercase name only produces an empty buffer when viewed. Eg. echo hi >README lha a foo.lzh README emacs -Q foo.lzh Ret => empty buffer where I hoped to see "hi". Only upper case filenames seem affected, you can see "Readme" or "readme" ok. Second, on an archive file of "MS-DOS" type but with a mixed-case name, viewing the member similarly produces an empty buffer. I noticed this on some downloaded self-extracting exes (which might come from w32, if someone has that obscure system to try directly). Eg. wget http://kanex.or.jp/history/BRO07.exe dd ibs=1 skip=30720 BRO07.lzh emacs -Q BRO07.lzh Ret => empty buffer where I hoped to see the price of chicken futures. You can also change the .exe to .lzh by adding something to the archive, if you don't trust dd. Eg. lha a BRO07.exe /etc/passwd => writes BRO07.lzh Either way the .csv file in the archive isn't empty, you can see it with the following. (The contents are shift-jis, I don't think that affects anything.) lha pq BRO07.lzh bro07.csv I believe archive-lzh-summarize has to follow the lha program's up/down casing, because that munged form is what it expects on the command line when asked for an "lha pq" extract etc, as done by archive-mode. I get some joy from the change below. For exercising the cases, lha for unix produces level 1 type U (unix) archives, or with the g flag produces level 0 (generic, and upcase names). The broilers download above is level 2 type M (msdos) with mixed case name. And I tried some level 0 (generic) with mixed case names from kanex which are no longer available for download. 2007-04-14 Kevin Ryde * arc-mode.el (archive-lzh-summarize): Two fixes to filename fiddling. Only apply the "downcase if all upcase" rule to OS-ID 0 "generic". This fixes extracting of upper case files like "README" from archives created on unix (such filenames should be left alone). Alwyas apply a downcase to OS-ID M "MSDOS". This fixes extracting of mixed-case filenames from archives apparently created on w32 systems, eg. http://kanex.or.jp/history/BR07.exe (delete the first 30720 bytes of self-extracting code to make a .lzh).
