Hello Rick,

Executing 'unzip -j -Loqq \ftn\filebase\fido\nodelist\NODELIST.Z38 Unpacker returned exit code '9'
Uncompress failed

It looks like unzip failed for some reason, maybe it couldn't find your nodelist. Is it installed?

Once you have an uncompressed nodelist in your nodelist directory you can run "ulc" to create/update your fidouser.lst

^^- Does it really say that?

Anyway, exit code 9 in the linux unzip is:

9 the specified zipfiles were not found.

Have you tried it without the -L ?
And maybe loose the qq and add a v while you are still trying to find out what the problem is...


Bye, Wilfred.

Might not be it but remove the '-Logg' from the command line.

Here with unzip (Info-ZIP 6.1c25-Beta), -L does not exist, nor with zip (v3.0).

It is there in 6.00.

'man unzip':

=== Cut ===

-L convert to lowercase any filename originating on an uppercase-
only operating system or file system. (This was unzip's default
behavior in releases prior to 5.11; the new default behavior is
identical to the old behavior with the -U option, which is now
obsolete and will be removed in a future release.) Depending on
the archiver, files archived under single-case file systems
(VMS, old MS-DOS FAT, etc.) may be stored as all-uppercase
names; this can be ugly or inconvenient when extracting to a
case-preserving file system such as OS/2 HPFS or a case-sensi-
tive one such as under Unix. By default unzip lists and ex-
tracts such filenames exactly as they're stored (excepting trun-
cation, conversion of unsupported characters, etc.); this option
causes the names of all files from certain systems to be con-
verted to lowercase. The -LL option forces conversion of every
filename to lowercase, regardless of the originating file sys-
tem.
