How do I run the ZeXcel zipfile on Qemulator please?
I've loaded in the zip / qpak archive as I have with others, but it neither auto runs or works with lrun as the others I've tried.

Re: ZeXcel on Qemulator
Hi,
The problem is that while Qemulator can mount ZIP files to a Drive Slot, the actual contents are Read Only, please read Section 4.8 of the QEMulator Manual.
There is no BOOT file in the ZXECEL zip archive, just a file called 'boot_example'
ZXECEL requires the Pointer Environment to run, and when it was written the Pointer Environment was still commercial, but now all free.
You need to mount the ZIP files to a Drive slot and copy the contents to another image file.
I use FLP images, as they seem to be more standard.
Attached is a FLP HD image with the required file stored and a boot file to load the Pointer Environment and ZXECEL.
