Zip help commands

15 June 2011, 15:07

Hi, I have 2 Amiga computers that have I have not used in a long time and want to use them again 1200, 2000.
Question is I dowload the program I want that has .zip on the end. (using burn program to copy to CD and using Cd in 2000 computer) it has 3.1 rom and the same for workbench. I can transfer program to floppy disk and using Disk master I see the Unzip program in the C.file does program need to be setup somewhere else as well? ..I'm very lost here on how to unzip the file I want and need help like an example on how to do it on CLI shell.
Thank you

Hmm from memory...
Unzip dh0:files/myfile.zip -d dh0:stuff/

-d is for unpacking with directories

[-d exdir]
An optional directory to which to extract files. By default, all files and subdirectories are recreated in the current directory; the -d option allows extraction in an arbitrary directory (always assuming one has permission to write to the directory).

Sorry, so it must be different from DOS pkunzip.

I want to play the Elvira game.. I have it downloaded to a CD and then copied one file to a floppy. I read the file on the disk using Disk Master to do this file name in ELVIRA_M.zip .I have tried many differant ways of pointing the un zip to Df0: but i get errors saying it can't find the file.
File was down loaded from a file server and is not Unziped on the Pc.
I would like to know what i should try as i used the exapmles shown to me in the replys.....How should I transfer disks to hard drive..should i do this first and make a drawer for this......I have some old instrustions for a older game and it said files need to mounted in last step need help here thanks for your time
