What I am suggesting is that if you are experiencing a difficulty unzipping directly from a DOS device, then simply copy it over as a file to a QL device, e.g, a Ram disk. SMSQ copies between DOS and QL, so it is no problem :- type in the following, copy Dos1_Qtrans.zip to Ram1_QTrans_zip The change to underscore is necessary for the QL filing system convention. Info 5.22 will then unzip the file for you with no problems. ( I was maybe assuming that you already were able to run Qtrans from the earlier 'beta' version ( v0.06 ), in my initial description ). The good news is that once you have it running these difficulties will be a thing of the past :-) -- Malcolm Cadman

Errr not exactly, I need a time machine to allow Qtrans to copy Qtrans.zip to anywhere from anywhere until I've unzipped it or is this some method of recursion that I've missed (;-) All the best - Bill

The "problem" I referred to with the DOS device was that attempting to list files from a non-existent directory in a DOS device or if you have files and directories starting with the same letters on the DOS device or if you entered additional letters after the folder name after pressing F2 or F3 to enter a filename the program could not cope as it was not getting the directory name confirmed as it wanted to when it tried to read the content. Jon Dent has also told me that the current version does not stuff the full directory+filename properly (bug) and there is a problem with RENAME in some cases, though it seems to work if you press C to continue when the error occurs. V0.08 imminent I think. -- Dilwyn Jones

The problem lies with older versions of unzip. Took me some time to figure it out myself as I never paid attention to the window's title and I was under the impression that it was on my search path However unzip will not unzip with the -d option if your target is ramx_ Phoebus

Then from 'Ram1_' the 'Qtrans_zip' will unzip OK to 'Ram1_' Once it is working OK, copy it from 'Ram1_' to its new permanent home on your 'Win1_' drive.
