zip2disk(1)
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 un
- pleasant 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
