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.
