ZIP problems

[RWAP]

I just spent a while scratching my head as to why ZIP on the QL was struggling to zip up the disk for Return To Eden.

It kept saying things like BRIDGE_1_COMP file name not matched.

I tried a different tack - I copied all of the files which ZIP on the QL could not move into the zip file, and then placed them into a Windows folder on my hard disk. I was surprised that Bitzipper on the PC also failed to add these files to the .zip file

It took me a while to realise the problem was that the QL files all ended in _COMP - the zip programs could not cope with this for some unknown reason. Even more oddly, is that if I rename the files to end in .COMP (eg. BRIDGE_1.COMP), then zip will add them to the archive without any issues.

Odd - because RTE_exe gets stored in the zip file as RTE.exe, so I don't see the difference (apart from _COMP having a four letter extension).

Nope - Return to Eden has been available through me for many years - see www.rwapadventures.com for more details

Took me awhile to find it, as the navigation pane on the left hand side requires a Java plugin. Recent issues over Java security has meant a. I didn't update Java and b. I inhibited Java from working on my laptop. Installed the new update and found the 'Return to Eden' section. Direct link below the image.
