That is the expected behaviour: extract the files with their actual untouched filenames. This is what I get from the zip archive on Debian, using the ordinary unzip command-line tool: ``` BOOT DRACULA.ASC DRACULA.bas DRACULA.scr DRACULA.txt HINTS.txt MAP.txt SOLUTION.txt ``` But the filenames in <BOOT> do not match (extensions and case) the actual ones. See the relevant lines: ```superbasic 140 LBYTES drive$&'dracula_scr',131072 160 LRUN drive$ & 'DRACULA_bas' ``` Filename case is not an issue on Windows, but it is on Linux. Not a big problem. Anyway, also the "win1_adv_" path has to be adapted or configured in the emulator. > http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org//ftp.php?b=cpm/Software/UserGroups/ > > the DRACULA.BAS is to be on the "First Osborne Group" section, disk > FOG138.

There is a very useful index with direct links to the archives: http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org/trs80/Software/index_DirHTML.html After several tries I downloaded all of its zip files containing adventures in BASIC (170). In case someone is interested, this the `wget` command I used on Debian: ```sh wget --page-requisites --accept "*dvent*BAS*.zip" --recursive --level=3 http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org/trs80/Software/index_DirHTML.html ``` > I know there is also a DRACULA.BAS on the IF Archive, but it is a > different Dracula game by a different author. Yes, there are many such games from that time with similar "dracula" titles. -- Marcos Cruz http://programandala.net _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
