Aonix Openada zip file at PAL

Aonix Openada zip file at PAL

[Richard Toy]

Has anybody successfully unzipped the zipped Openada Windows compiler at

ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/ada/aonix/pal/windows-zip/oa71sped.zip 
???

I can view the file with winzip (233 Mhz Pentium 64Mb 4Gig U/W SCSI) but
when I try to unzip ANY file from the archive, Winzip just tries to
create a very large file (I quit winzip when the file became 650Mb !!!)
as it unpacks the secord file in the archive, adacomp.inf.  I have also
tried to unzip the archive using an unzip program on a Sparc 20 with
exactly the same results.

I you have managed to unzip the archive then what did you use ??

While I find the above behavior odd, I have to caution you 
that the PAL site is not ready at this point.  It is somewhat 
unfortunate that availability was inadvertantly announced 
before we had a chance to get all of our ducks lined up.

At any rate, we're having a few hiccups getting the zip file
transmitted properly to the ftp site, and it's likely to take
a few days to get the kinks worked out.

I'll post a message to this group when everything looks a-ok.

I apologize for any inconvenience that may have been
caused.

BTW, I believe the tar file for the SPARC and HP compilers
is in working order at this point.

Given that the PAL site is a mirror of our ftp site, this
doesn't surprise me.  Once we've got the proper file on our
site, the PAL site will work as well.  Please stay tuned
to this channel for late-breaking news.

I've tried both the PAL archives and directly from Aonix using several
different unzip programs and have continually had negative results.
