- Converting between different file formats.
-
- Q: How can I convert the ZipCode files (1!..,2!..etc.) found on various
- ftp-sites to a format usable by the emulators?
- A: Grab the file zip2d64.arj on any of the emulator ftp-sites. The
- syntax for conversion is:
-
- zip2d64 zip.gam zipgame.d64
-
- to convert the files 1!zip.gam
- 2!zip.gam
- 3!zip.gam
- 4!zip.gam
-
- to the file zipgame.d64.
-
- Alternatively, several C64 transfer utilities (64Copy and Star
- Commander) have built-in utils for ZipCode conversion.
-
- Q: OK, but what about Lynx files (*.lnx)?
- A: On the emulator ftp-sites there is also a DOS executable that
- extracts files from a Lynx archive. Alternatively, you can down-
- load the C64 utility "Omega-Q" from the /utils directory at frodo
- etc. Put the .lnx file into a .d64 file, run Omega-Q and unlynx
- the files directly to a .d64 quickly and easily.
-
- The C64 transfer utilities 64Copy and Star Commander also are able
- to convert Lynx files to a usable format.
