UNZIP of DECSET128 failing
Both UNZIP.EXE & DECSET128 downloaded from DSPP site.
When i unzip it i get error
$ unzip :== $unzip
$ unzip sys$system:$DECSETI64128.ZIP
Archive: SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]$DECSETI64128.ZIP;1
create_qio_output: sys$parse failed.
[ %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error ]
create_qio_output: sys$parse failed.
[ %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error ]
create_qio_output: sys$parse failed.
Any suggestions how to resolve it?

Re: UNZIP of DECSET128 failing
You mean "UnZip 5.42 of 14 January 2001"?
WHY? Knowing nothing about where you tried
to do this, I'd guess that you're in some
directory with an ODS5 extended file name,
and an UnZip program that old can't deal with
it.
The current released UnZip version is 6.0,
and, if I were you, then I'd update mine just
as soon as possible. I don't even have the
source kit for anything so old as 5.42, but
if you have any problems with 6.0, then
please let me know.

ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/vms/
The current version is better in many ways.

Re: UNZIP of DECSET128 failing
Is the file spec
sys$system:$DECSETI64128.ZIP
correct?
Shouldn't it be:
sys$system:DECSETI64128.ZIP

Kris (aka Qkcl)

Re: UNZIP of DECSET128 failing
$ SET DEF SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS0.SYSMGR]
but do get a newer unzip.
Purely Personal Opinion

Nah.
> Archive: SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]$DECSETI64128.ZIP;1
You don't get that message (note: ";1")
unless UnZip found the archive (as
specified). (At least with a modern UnZip.
My fossil collection doesn't include 5.42,
but I suspect that that code hasn't changed
much.)
Also:
> create_qio_output: sys$parse failed.
> [ %RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error ]
They are _output_ errors. (Especially
unlikely if it didn't find the archive.)
> you may also find [...]
Shouldn't matter.
> but do get a newer unzip.
Yes. The fact that HP insists on using
obsolete tools is no excuse for anyone else.

Re: UNZIP of DECSET128 failing
You might learn something interesting from:
unzip -l sys$system:$DECSETI64128.ZIP
Again, UnZip 5.42 is before my time, but even
using my oldest UnZip version, 5.51 ("22 May
2004"), I haven't found a good way (using
normal ODS2 VMS file names in an archive) to
reproduce that kind of error.
Of course, before the FTP server got
evacuated, one could download a perfectly
harmless DECset 12.8 ECO2 kit which didn't
seem to have any obvious strange-and-exotic
properties which might doom even a thoroughly
obsolete UnZip program. But, apparently,
those days are gone.
