DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briey 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 le names must be prexed 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 identier stored in the ZipCode les is not included in the disk image.
