Thanks TimoVJL,
I have grabbed your work and will see how - appreciate the test, and the help, and your time!
Vortex, sorry to report that the zip file created with Msys2 version of zip, turns out to not be a valid zip file.
Even the header characters are wrong. 7z, Zip, etc nothing can open it. Not sure what went wrong - - Thanks
for trying it though! I might still try Msys2 later.
