QL ZIP + FRONT END

[Outsoft]

I would like to start use the ZIP format on my QL.

But I would like an easy way to zip and unzip files.

Can someone suggest me gently a good Superbasic front end (or PE too) with a zip/unzip program?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards.

The one I use is Archiver's Control Panel (ACP) which is QLIBERATED SuperBasic. Available from Dilwyn's Archives section at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/arch/acp4e01.zip. you will need ql unzip to unzip it! That's available at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/arch/unzip541xq.bin which is a self extracting file! Just LRESPR it and follow the prompts.

Once unzip is installed, upgrade it with this patch http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/arch/unzip541.zip and you should be good to go.

If you don't get on with ACP, Dilwyn wrote a front end for unzip which you get at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/arch/ulib.zip.

Cheers,

How I can let the QLIB runtine start? I've it but I can't let start for use the other stuff.

The ULIB is working under QTrans too?

Best regards.

There is also my Zip Manager program at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/arch/index.html, a pointer driven front end for Zip and Unzip.

It's needs Window Manager 2. Archivers Control Panel is pointer driven but doesn't need Window Manager 2, so will work better on older systems. Archivers Control Panel also handless a few other archivers like Arc, Lha, Lhq and Zoo whereas Zip Manager only handles Zip and Unzip.

Hi,
I use ACP, I installed it in 1992 and still use it now.

It works with all versions of Extended Environment, allows any type of archive programme, i.e. ZIP, HAR, ARJ, LHARC etc... and when configured to be used with Fileinfo2 makes a really nice environment.


I also use Q-EMulator for extracting ZIP files as a drive.

I hope I understand correctly what you want to do...

QLIB_RUN (and the bug fixed variants) can just be LRESPRed like other extensions.

Ok Thanks

Found that I have ACP as original floppy too just preserved: all with Q-LIB runtime + Pointers (the latest version use it) so I'm watching for it, thanks.

As a FILE editor I use MASTER SPY 3.3, very strong!

ACP outstanding: very very nice program

Just tested on Q-emuL and work ok, this night I will test on SGC card ad home.

Thanks!

It works well from FLP to WIN but not from WIN to WIN or WIN to FLP

Why?

Very strange...
