NAME¶

zip2disk - Commodore 1541 ZipCode extractor

SYNOPSIS¶

zip2disk zipcodefile [ imagefile.d64 ]

DESCRIPTION¶

This manual page documents briefly the zip2disk command.

The Commodore 1541 disk archiver ZipCode was developed in order to make it possible to transfer disk images over modem lines. Nowadays it is better to use gzip(1) on the disk images. The zip2disk command can be used to convert ZipCode archives to 1541 disk images.

SECURITY¶

The ZipCode file names must be prefixed with the strings 1!, 2!, 3!, and 4!, just like ZipCode works on the Commodore 64. Some Unix shells treat the character ! specially. To avoid unpleasant situations, please refer to the documentation of the shell you are using.

BUGS¶

The sector-level disk identifier stored in the ZipCode files is not included in the disk image.

AUTHOR¶

The zip2disk utility was originally written by Paul David Doherty. It was improved and packaged by Marko Mäkelä.
