file's in .trd (re:[0/2] pcunzip for TRDOS)

Explain to me, a stupid realist, why throw subjects at all?
Were they really of immeasurable size? I'm probably not the only one sitting here at 2400...
Ie. it's a good thing... But it's not necessary... IMHO.

With that, Tim, let me say goodbye.

KC> Explain to me, a stupid real-life guy, why is there no point in throwing around subjects?

Because sometimes programs require a certain location of files on the disk
or something else like that, and instead of long and tediously describing what goes where and how
write it down, it’s easier to throw everything in the TRD-shnik...

KC> Did they really exist in an unmeasured size? I’m probably not the only one sitting here at 2400...

Here, especially for you, I put together an empty turbojet engine, packed it in a zipper using the
normal method, result: 789 bytes, converted to yuyuk: 1290 bytes along with the lines begin,
end, sum and so on... IMHO it’s not difficult to stretch out such a volume and 300 baud If
the TRD-shnik was not empty, but with a program recorded on it, then the size of the archive
would increase by the volume of the archived program.

KC> That is. it's a good thing... But it's not necessary... IMHO.

I agree, in the case when there is no direct need to use a turbojet engine it is stupid
and unnecessary, but when it can help avoid unnecessary hassles with launching a delayed program - why not?

Pleasant connections.

You and the screw may not care about the size of the unpacked turbojet engine, but for me with one
flop 100 times Jump floppy disks.
IMHO TRD-shniki are NOT for real Spec.

It is useful to be able to unpack them (thanks, Andrey!), but there is no need to send them
here. Better in ZX.SPECTRUM.

All the best.

Well, with one flop this is not work at all, but masochism in its purest form...

Have a nice connection.
