Zip to MDV

[jll745562]

If anyone's still interested in this, I recently had need of mdvtool for a DIY microdrive emulator I'm working on (more about that in the future).
Anyway, I've fixed the Zip file import and added a 'create' command to create blank .mdv files, as well as squishing a few other bugs (but probably not all of them!)

I've attached a zip file of the source code if anyone wants it. You will need libzip to compile.

Hi!
I'm new to the QL, or at least new in the sense that I haven't touched the machine in the last 27 years. I just unpacked it and set it up recently and have discovered, that nearly all my disks and microdrive cartridges are no longer readable.

Unfortunately (for me) I don't have the skill or a compiler to compile the source. Is there any chance of sending me a compiled version?

Please specify what OS you would require a binary for ? I'm adding my build from x64 Linux.
