Subject: Finding file information from .zips

Just a very quick question. I "know" this has been answered before 
(sorry) but I am unable to find it to familiarise myself.

Basically, if you grab a .zip containing a few files and then extract 
the .zip on Windows, although the files are present attempting to add 
them to either ADFS / DFS explorer or BBC explorer, there is no 
information (load and exec addresses etc)

A good example of what I mean is one of these two .zips

www.mdfsnet.f9.co.uk/Mirror/Archive/Acorn/ (for my specific case the 
CompWelc.zip file)

www.mdfsnet.f9.co.uk/Apps/Networking/FServers/ (and here for Level3FS.zip)

I know I have overlooked something really obvious, but if anyone can 
point me to the correct utility (pc side would be easier as I can then 
make an image to xfer over) I would really appreciate it :)

While I'm here, JGH's excellent patched WFSInit is present in that 
second .zip file. One is called WFSInit and the other is WFSInitFull , 
which one do I use for "large" (formatted with ADFS to 500 mb or so) 
drives please ?

 From reading and researching the list last night I understand one of 
those has been modified to read the actual disk size, rather than the 
space map so it will work correctly with a large drive, as I understand 
the original one will come apart a bit with drives bigger than about 60mb.

Thanks, and I hope that makes sense :)


Andy.
