The Sinclair QL Forum

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:
This works, no problem.

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

use this boot disk
or even better have closer look at the boot file

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.
