Hi,

> (cut format "quake3-latest-pk3s/baseq3/pak~a.pk3" <>)

this is not correct.

“format” expects as its first argument a port or #true/#false, then it
takes the format string followed by values for each placeholder.

If you want to generate strings you should do

    (cut format #false "quake3-latest-pk3s/baseq3/pak~a.pk3" <>)
