hobetta

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Andrij M. Stegnit'skij To All 3 April 1998


Hello everyone.
What should I do with the hobetta file?
I decoded it normally,
but without the extension.
I tried to unpack it with all sorts of archives and nothing worked.
Write a few words.
With that I say goodbye.
With respect Andrey.

From Igor Gruzdev To All 4 April 1998

Hello, Andrij!

It's quiet outside the window, and I'm sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Andrij M
Stegnit'skij to All Fri Apr 03 1998 at 18:21...

Extension in in the encoded file it is separated by a space, so it is simply lost. ;)

As> I tried to unpack it with all kinds of archives and nothing worked.

This file was packed with Spectum zxzip, but without a custom header. The so-called .zxz format. There are two ways to open it:
1) through hobeta or any other available method, copy via shift-F5 to a floppy disk, then use the doctor to edit the extension to ZIP (on trdos!), after which
unzip.
2) the easiest way is to use the utility zxz2$z.com to this file, after which we will get a
standard hobet zxzip, and let's dig it all out zxunzip.exe


With all kinds of regards and wishes.
Igor.

... Had an active ambition in life.
