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.
