- UnZip 5.1 source code for the Atari ST
- ======================================
-
-
- NOTE: this code has NOT been tested and probably doesn't quite
- work! In particular, the filetime and attributes code in atari.c
- is pure guesswork and probably won't even compile properly. The
- changes necessary to make the code work probably aren't all that
- severe, however. (Non-echoing code in the full version of crypt.c
- may take some work, too, but that's optional.)
-
-
- Further notes from Martin Schulz, from Feb. 1992 (4.1 patches):
-
-
- I have compiled unzip.prg with TURBO C 2.0 for the ATARI ST, probably
- the best C compiler available for the Atari ST.
-
- [...]
-
- I am providing UNZIP.PRG for the Atari ST as UNZIP41.ARC for those who
- don't have any unzipper yet. [Uploaded to atari.archive.umich.edu in
- Feb. 92.]
-
- Special features:
- =================
-
- Unzip.prg uses a special version of the startup file which is capable
- of recognizing extended parameters a la Beckemeyer/Mark Williams shell,
- using the "ARGV=" Environment variable.
-
- Although the Turbo C compiler is quite good, the libs are buggy!
- Therefore I cannot garantee that any unzip.prg compiled with Turbo C
- will ever run successfully. Mine seems to be ok., but I have fixed
- various problems for my lib. Especially the stat() was making trouble.
-
- However, if someone wants to compile it the same way I did,
- there are essentially 3 ways:
- - using a shell, and the command line compiler TCC,
- as indicated by the script 'MAKEIT',
-
- - using some sort of make and 'MAKEFILE.ST'
- This and the previous case both require also 'TLINK.OPT'
-
- - using the interactive version 'TC' of Turbo C and
- the supplied 'UNZIP.PRJ'.
-
- Please read the note above about problems which might arise
- when you recompile unzip on your Atari.
