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.
