correct; that was the case, but I can no longer reliably reproduce the oproblem, thus just cllose this as "resolved". more info: I realized I also had MagicSplat Tcl+Tk 8.9..* installed (I saw it in my error/install logs while trying to get my exact window and Tcl+Tk versions.)
-
It might also help mentioning, I do not have any problems if I execute "tclsh" or "wish" from the "cmd prompt", then "source" my files. It only gives me problems when I try to execute a *.tclapp or a *.tkapp from the command line (using the command line assoc's set up by MagicSplat. I checked them as well, and see nothing unusual or wrong with them, either.

Please understand, I am disabled, and struck in a nursing home, so it is very difficult for me to find and provide the requested details. What I have done in the past is write a simple Tcl script to open potential (.tcl, .tclapp, .tk, and .tkapp) problem files, read them in binary mode to check the first 2, 3 or 4 bytes for a BOM: -- UTF-8 :: 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF -- UTF-16 LE :: 0xFF 0xFE -- UTF-16 BE :: 0xFE 0xFF -- UTF-32 LE :: 0xFF 0xFE 0x00 0x00 -- UTF-32 BE :: 0x00 0x00 0xFE 0xFF Unfortunately, I...

My suggestion is to ensure all the distro files are plain old 7-nit ASCII files, using "\uXXXX" style escapes where unicode chars are absolutely needed. (I personally cannot think of any cases where any kind of 8-bit character encoding is absolutely needed in the core distro.) I caught this issue because my text editor (Edit Pad Pro 7) is somewhat Unicode capacle and aware, and the error popup (on Windows) is something like: "invalid command name: \" ...\" while executing ...", which happens to...
-
Also, note that the BOM is NOT in any of the files I created/my source code: my editor has a toolbar that allows my to add/strip any BOM at will, and I have made certain that none of my source files have no BOM. It seem that at least one file in the MagicSplat distro is the problem, as I have a standard (plaijn ASCII) header in all my files, and the tracing I could do, show the problem occurs long before my file is even sourced in Tcl/Tk. As best as I can figure out, the MagicSplat Tcl/Tkinitialization...

I continue to have issues with getting MagicSplat Tcl/Tk running correctly on Windos. The problem appears to be how some files are not plain ASCII/7-bit, but encoded in some other format and have a BOM (Byte Order Marker) embeded in the first few bytes of the file. What happens is Tcl/Tk immediately dies with an error on these files because it is trying to interpret the BOM as a command instead of as it is intended: a BOM. My suggestion is to ensure all the distro files are plain old 7-nit ASCII...

did you save the edited config file wiih the proper name? word tries to rename the file "eggdro.doc", wordpad renames it "eggdrop.rtf", but eggdrop.exe looks for "eggdrop.conf"

-
search sourceforge for something like editpad++, for editing plain plain/regular text files.

it is very simple to configure... i will happily senr you an edit config file, complete with my virus to hack you! that is why eggdrop make you edit it yourself, so you can can see yourself if someone try to virus you. don't be a stupid lazt fool that gets infected!
-
rdit it in wordpad or an editor for plsin text files that does not change the file extension when iut saves that file (it must be eggdrop.conf, because that is what the windrop is condigured to look for) wordpad tries to rename the file to eggdrop.rtf or eggdrop.doc when you save it.
-
do what it says. there is a line in the default config file that literraly tells the bot to die with yjat message, so you did not read and edit your comfig file in order to see the line. you will get yourself hacked that way.

That is why MS software (and anyone else) releases "Service Packs/Bug Fixes/Updates" -- They all "do it wrong" from time to time. It may not even be their "fault", as poor or missing documentation may force them to guess at some parts. An example of this is Unicode and the "Byte Order Marker", or BOM: UTF-16 is two-bytes per character and needs a BOM (Intel CPUs store the bytes differently than Motorola CPUs). UTF-8 is single/one-byte encoding, and does not need a BOM. But many "Unicode aware" editors...

Given how often I see people with time stamping concerns/issues... 7-zip itself is an archive management and format application; It is not a file management application, or a backup management application. While there are options to assist with these things, it can only assist to a certain point. After that point, you will need to use some kind of application dedicated to the task. There are dozens of file managers and backup managers on the internet -- many of them are free and available on SourceForge...
-
Just a guess... By default, Windows' Explorer displays the last modified time stamp. But if you change it to "creation" or "access" time stamps, it may display unexpected results -- 7-zip may be correctly setting them, but then your virus scanner, for example, might run behind 7-zip and access the file to scan it, thus changing the access time stamp. Many things can do this, and you should only rely on last modified time stamps. (Un*x, for example, does not have a creation time stamp at all -- the...

Try using an upper case /S. 7-zip works on many platforms other than Windows, and many of them are case-sensitive.
-
If you paid for it, check where you got it from. It might be a fake/trojan version, and might be why you lost you lost your old drive. ALWAYS double check the Internet before you pay for anything unless you are certain it is "paid only". I see so many free and open source programs that have trojan versions out there requiring payment. So they not only get your money, they also put viruses and trojans on your computer.

I cannot see a significant number of users needing to be able to work with those backup tools to justify adding code to 7-zip to handle them. AFIAK, at least on m Linux system, 7-zip can already handle many/most cases where the data is an unmodified archive (especially a *.zip file) with a custom file extension, since it looks for the *.zip header and catalog. For anything else, you would need to create your own tool(s) to process them as needed. 7-zip can already handle streaming data (de)compression...
-
Google "Windows Power Shell" and learn how to write Power Shell (*.ps1) scripts to do this kind of thing. 7-zip only concerns itself with (de)compression of data/files, not management of them.
-
Mac OS/X is based on a Linux OS backend. Linux has several GUI archive managers available which work without issues on Mac OS/X; They use either the 7-zip command line tool "under the hood", or directly load the 7-zip shared libraries (*.so for Un*x, *.dll for MSWin). If you use Mac OS before Mac OS/X... Upgrade it. :-P
-
Yes and no. But 7-zip cannot help you... You will have file a lawsuit against the former employee to obtain a court order for them either uncompress them or provide you with the password. (And possibly sue for additional damages as a result of lost revenues in the meantime.) In the future, I suggest you maintain multiple secure backup sets of your important business files. I keep one set in my office, one set at home, and one set in a safe deposit box at my bank. I also audit them often (weekly)...

@Jim Cheoros: What you really want is not something within 7-zip itself. Although 7-zip does support splitting/merging/etc, I say this because your "issue" is regarding the successful transfer/download of the final archive, and 7-zip is not a file transfer/network tool. But there are numerous ways to do what you want. Here are two: 1) Split the file in to chunks and download each chunk individually. You can generate check-sums/file-hashes for each chunk to immediately detect a download error and...

As stated by IDDQDesnik, there is a MSI setup file in "Downloads". To add to that, InnoSetup (IS) and MSI are tools (mainly) for Microsoft[tm] Windows[tm] operating systems, which would preclude Linux/Unix users, Mac OS/X users, and any other operating systems which there are ports of 7-Zip but lack support for IS/MSI conversions.

Most of the output of the command "7z l -slt x.7z" is self-explanatory, except the timestamps. I have already figured out (by testing) that the display is always in the local time zone. It would be better to make this clear in the documentation, and/or always use UTC so shifts in Daylight Savings and/or accessing a remote server in another time zone (if I am in Los Angeles USA, but telnet-ing to a server in Paris France, for example) will always be correct -- Us humans simply have to adjust the UTC...
-
As a work-around, you can create a file with the desired meta-data and add it to the archive. You can hen extract the file of meta-data and process it to adjust the other extracted files. (Keeping mind that the underlying file system may also update some of it, such as last access times...) Of course, this also means you will need to create programs to handle this (Python3 comes to mind, which is relatively easy to install on Windows, and almost always part of the base install of Un*x and Mac OS...

Since you are on Debian 10, does the command "du -sh data.7z" report something closer to the size you expected? If it does, that likely means the file system created "holes" in the file where parts were deleted, but was not able (yet?) to recover the sectors where the holes are for re-use by the system. The easy way to fix this is move the file to a different partition entirely and then back, so it forces the file system to de- and re- allocate contiguous blocks for the file without internal fragmentation...
-
Do you mean something like, selecting "Folder1", "Folder2", "File1.txt", and "File2.txt", would create 4 archives, "Folder1.7z", "Folder2.7z", "File1.7z", and "File2.7z" ?
-
Most of the documentation can be a little terse, but I suspect much of this is because English is not the developer's native language. What you can help with is asking specific questions or pointing out what you are not understanding, so they can be addressed and updated. There are also several websites with a lot of additional help and examples that you can search and try.

On my Debian Stretch machine, I installed the OpenJDK Debian package (via apt), and made sure any other possibly needed libs were installed (such as JFX, and other commonly used libs). Then I had to go edit the "FreeMars.bat" t convert it in to a normal unix-style shell script -- change "javaw" to simply "java", and change the semicolon path separators in to colons (otherwise, unix shells will try to interpret the path components as additional commands, not path elements). Save it as "freemars.sh"...
