Funny thing I came across while adding a Revision Party 2021 file area
to my bbs... :P The file 'nce-nfo4revision2021.zip' had a nice
file_id.diz with what looked like standard ascii/ansi but crashed my system when viewing the file list EVERY time...
It was right after:

This line, which made me wonder... but when I looked inside the actual .diz, their didn't seem to be any added ANSI characters or anything, but it would be funny if there WAS something there that caused Mystic to go B00M.
You can find the files at https://demozoo.org/parties/4191/#competition_16399 and if you have a notion to find out if theres something funny amiss, doso at your own
risk. :P
Once I edited the .diz, and erased that entire portion of the .diz, it uploaded, displayed and listed just fine; I can even go in and view the .ZIP using Mystic...
Last thing; I was able to go in and 'v' the file in Mystic file
listings, because the .diz was like... the part that broke Mystic was on the next page...
so I was able to get into it. And when I pressed '!' to edit the description, Mystic crashed right at the same spot! So... I was just wondering; DID NUANCE h4ck Mystic... or maybe I found some bug or... *I* don't know. Maybe you do.

Hope this helps a little. I'm now on a mission to find out exactly what ^P
OK I found the file, and found out exactly why it's erroring for you -
you need to open the textfile in a proper text editor, say "vi" or "vim" :P
on the line after the last working one for you, you will see (if you
open it in a proper editor) that the line contains a ^P in blue.
This I don't know exactly what it's for, but you can achieve the same character by typing CTRL+V + CTRL+P while in insert mode.
Hope this helps a little. I'm now on a mission to find out exactly what
^P is supposed to be for. haha.
