The case dreaded upzip barrier

Post by Jbizzel »

Hello again :)

I have a problem using unzip 5.4.1 on my real BBQL with SGC clone:


My set up is...

BBQL with Tetroid SGC and a GOTEK flash floppy.

At the PC end I am using QPC2.

I have a disk.img file I created called 'unzip.img' - 1.4meg.

I have downloaded Unzip 5.41 from https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/arch/index.html here.

I have used QPC's inbuilt unzip software (mine is at v5.4.0) to unzip the unzip541 to the floppy.img, like so:

Code: Select all

ew unzip;'-d flp1_ dos1_unzip541_zip '
This works, no problem.

Then, in QPC I tested my work like so...

Code: Select all

ew flp1_unzip
As you will expect I see the help page, and the unzip version is indeed 5.4.1 - Great!

Now on to my real BBQL....

I type...

Code: Select all

ew flp1_unzip
And get an error saying:

"Signal extension not loaded"

Is there something else I need to run to make UNZIP work on my BBQL please?

The signal extension should normally not be mandatory - Programs should run fine without.

Thanks - When this auto boots on my BBQL, I just get a black screen.

I also loaded the signal extensions and Unzip runs, but crashes immediately when I try to unzip something. Wonder if this is a SGC issue?

Thanks for your help guys.
