Re: Unzip problem

Well it seems that no-one knows why I can't unzip the Ediror in uQLx. For that matter, it wont run Xchange, although that will unzip. The solutions seem to be 1. Use uQLx for my astrology program, so that I can easity move data between that and Linux — recent Linux library changes mean that QemuLtor...

Re: Unzip problem

I'm still confused. I thought I had a QL device, namely uqlx.win.

As I said, the problem is that the downloaded zip won't unzip — I get an error message as I reported. After a great deal of searching, I discovered that ACP is a front end for unzip but the problem is that unzip isn't working.

Re: Unzip problem

My problem is not understanding the unzip format, but unzipping the Editor package that's giving me the strange error message. There's also the problem of transferring software from the Linux fileling system used by QemuLator to the QDOS one used by uQLx — getting the file header recovered.

Re: Unzip problem

Thank you all for the prompt replies. As I said, I'm using uQLx, so I don't to start again with sQLx. The syntax for the QL unzip was strange! I've successfully unzipped Spy, but Editor has defeated me. I get checkdir error cannot create MSTR I've just tried another approach. I copied the Editor exe...

Unzip problem

I've just switched from QemuLator and Wine to uQKX, having had problems develop with the former. I can't move programs from the one to the other, since the file format is altered by QemuLator, so I'm trying to reinstall things like Editor from downloads. Now the problem. The downloads are zips and I...

QemuLator and Wine

Not a suggestion on how to spend the holiday, but a question about QemuLator use on Linux with the Wine emulator. I was planning to switch from Fedora to CentOS, but I naturally did a test first to make sure that QemuLator would be OK. Shock, horror! It ran with the basic display (fine if you have a...

Happy New Year from an old timer

I found this board when looking for some information about QemuLator. The task was not made any easier by the fact that there's also a program called Qemulator, but DuckDuckGo came up trumps. I got a QL back in 1985 and it survived endless upgrades until I replaced it with a Q60 to get internet acce...
