Good day folks.
I know I've asked about this in the past, but the subject of "Password protected zip archives in RISC OS" has again raises its annoying head...
I was wondering if there's been any progress since I last enquired, as non
of the various app I have will do the business.
ZipEE
!p7zip with front ends.
Infozip
IZipper
Nor the usual...
SparkFS
Etc.
Thanks
Dave
There's a test zip archive at:
http://www.triffid.co.uk/dstuff/Tester01.zip
The zip archive is: "Tester01" it contains three test text files.
The password is "test!" (Sans quotes).

I have just downloaded your test zip and opened it without using a
password with SparkFS 1.55
But I now assume its the files within that are password protected not
the zip itself.
I found if you dragged one of the txt file back onto the SparkFS icon
you get offered a number of 'Save As' options. Have you tried any of
these?
Otherwise maybe it needs raising with ROOL as a possible new option in SparkFS for the future.

Chris, That is very interesting...
Yes the files withinn the archive are protected.
Here my SparkFS 1.46 doesn't do what you describe... Nothing I have on
RISC OS will access the text files.
I do have a test beta app IZipper (Not my app) which was created to work
with password protected Zip archives, and even that won't do the
business.
Any Idea where SparkFS 1.55 is avilable from?
Thanks
Dave

I downloaded 1.55 from the ROOL site and installed it.
It will open the archive as expected, but will not do the business with
the protected text files within.

It's part of the RISC OS 5 disc image, isn't it?

P7zip would appear to be the encoding format.
PS: I did extract it on RiscOS

Did you drag the txt file from within the zip file on to the SparkFS
icon, you should have been offered a variety of types to re save as. My
quick test seems to allow me to save them in the other formats I only
tried 2 GZip and UUencode. But I did not have Gzip on my machine to
test any further.
