Unzip frontend for A600
Hi all,
I am trying to find a nice front end utility to unzip files on a 1MB A600. Using Opus does not give enough free memory to have both running and enough free memory to actually unzip ADFs. I know there is VoodooX for the A1200 which works great (but only for 68020's). I have set up an IDE 4GB CF card with 2 partitions, the smaller with 3.1 OS and the larger which contains the ADFs. By the time 3.1 loads i am down to 644k so i need something that will allow me to unzip ADF's to a temp folder without having to do a command line command. TSGui appears to work good for the actual recreation of the floppies so its just the unzipping thats left to figure out. Anyone have any ideas of a nice util/frontend for unzipping that will work on the a600. ? thanks |

I hope it works -
You can edit the Script of GUI-4-Unzip with a text editor, this is a bit like setting Prefs. |

Is there no tool that will write back ADZ files without unpacking?

Hi Alexh,
I tried to find something to do it on the fly, it looks like it has to be a 2 step process. Still searching though ![]() |

ADZ = Gzipped ADF.
TransADF says it supports both GZip and PKZip. Should work fine.... I'll try it! Edit: Works ok here using CLI. Even multi-file PKZip's seem to work. TransADF DRIVE DF0: FILE DH0:turrican2.zip WRITE NAME turrican2_a.adf Last edited by alexh; 30 August 2009 at 21:35. |

That's strange. Could you upload one of the ADZ files you're trying to transfer to The Zone? I'm intrigued now
![]() It's possible with Hombre (my little project). You basically have two aliases unadz/undms that do the trick (transferring a compressed ADF file straight onto a floppy) using a combination of FLAT: device and unzip/xdms commands. But you have to do it in a shell window. Hhmmm... writing a simple script (you could launch by clicking an icon) that would pop up a file requester shouldn't be that difficult... watch this space ![]() |
