This manual page documents brie(fly the
zip2disk command.
The Commodore 1541 disk archiver ZipCode was developed in order to make
it possible to transfer disk images over modem lines. Nowadays it is
better to use
gzip(1) on the disk images. The zip2disk command can be used to convert
ZipCode archives to 1541 disk images.
SECURITY
The ZipCode (file names must be pre(fixed with the strings 1!,
2!, 3!, and 4!, just like ZipCode works on the
Commodore 64. Some Unix shells treat the character ! specially.
To avoid unpleasant situations, please refer to the documentation of
the shell you are using.
BUGS
The sector-level disk identi(fier stored in the ZipCode (files is not
included in the disk image.
