Quarterback Restore Problem
 
i have problems restoring a QB archive from 6 floppies. tested 7.x 4.x and a 2.x version. some say "corrupted directory" another cannot find anything.
I uploaded Prof.Midi.Collection-Quarterback.archive.zip into the zone.
please someone unpack this archive and reupload - i cannot say if it is bad, but I refuse to test another Qb version and get another error-message :shocked

oh, sorry, but I wanted you to try to extract/restore the quarterback-archive, which is on the 6 diskimages - not the zip archive itself :)

Quarterback is a archiving tool, which can pack files from a hardrive into a large archive as a single file, or on one or more floppy disks.
it is is sort of mutliple-rar-archive, which you can create with winrar, for example (rar, r00, r01, r02 ...) .

so one must have the correct quarterback version and must feed the program with all 6 floppy-images - so the original files can be used again.

the trouble is, either the archive is really broken, or I didnt found the correct version to restore/unpack the files in the archive.

thanks for your time :)

LOL Now I understand what you wanted I'll have a look to see if I've got quarterback.

It looks like you needed Version 6.0

Now in the Zone with no warnings from Quarterback

Yes, Quarterback is quite fussy like that. :guru

yes, and beware, it hates anything other than FFS filesystem. I got corrupted when using it on my partitions using SFS.

Prefer ABACKUP :)

I've found another program packed with Quarterback - and i failed again.
i tried 4.2 5.0 5.04 5.12 6.0 and 7.3.1 - no success :/

can anyone try to extract Polygraph_QuarterBack.Archive.DMS in the zone?

#1) the program's real title is Polylab and can be found on aminet.
i delete the file from the zone, thanks for watching this space :)
