NAME

       disk2zip - Commodore 1541 ZipCode compressor

SYNOPSIS

       disk2zip [options] imagefile.d64 [ zipcodefile ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the disk2zip 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 disk2zip  command
       is provided mainly for historical reasons, as a replacement for the ZipCode compressor.

OPTIONS

       disk2zip follows the usual Unix command line syntax, with options starting with a dash (`-').

       --     Stop processing options.  This is useful if the first file name argument begins with a dash.

       -iiidd Use 0xii 0xdd (hexadecimal) as the disk identifier.  The default is 0x36 0x34, or `64'.

SECURITY

       The  names  of  the  created  ZipCode  files  are 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.
