: It is often safest to get the raw ZIP archive onto the Acorn media (via a Gotek drive or SD card) and then run an Acorn-platform unzipper (like SparkPlug or BBCUnZip ) directly on that hardware to ensure file integrity.
: Do not use standard Windows or macOS built-in zip utilities to create the final archive, as they will likely ignore the Acorn filesystem attributes. 4. Verification After zipping, verify your content by: Part 2- bbczip
: Use a utility like *CAT or *EX on the BBC Micro after a test extraction to confirm the addresses were preserved. : It is often safest to get the
: If you are preparing files on a modern PC (Windows/Linux) for use on an Acorn system, use ZipToInf to extract this metadata and save it as .inf sidecar files. Verification After zipping, verify your content by: :
: Use standard compression flags if running through a BASIC implementation like BBC BASIC IV.
: Ensure your file names follow the format Filename.inf so the utility knows which metadata belongs to which binary. 2. Configure Parameters
BBCZip typically uses parameters similar to . When preparing your archive:
