You don't have the unace command. You can get it on versiontracker, it is
in the package 'PCTools':

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12645

But please note: this version of unace can only decompress ace files that
are compressed using the old version of winACE. At this point there is no
tool for OS X that can decompress ace files which are compressed with the
new winACE, as far as I know.

Greetings,

Eveline.

Hej Eveline, thank you for your time and trouble
I have installed the PCToös on my hard drive and the disc that the files are
on.
the inslall instructions said to see how to use unace

[localhost:~] you% unace
This is the reply
[localhost:~] you% unace
-bash: [localhost:~]: command not found
should I put something else inside the brackets??
I should have said that i am a complete novice in terminal.
thanks vernon

Hmmm.. I have installed PC tools the normal way, and now I have the unace
command at my command in terminal:

[a194-109-2-251:~] eveline% unace
UNACE v1.2 public version

Usage: UNACE <command> [<switches>] <archive[.ace]>

Where <command> is one of:

e Extract files
l List archive
t Test archive integrity
v List archive (verbose)
x Extract files with full path

And <switches> is zero or more of:

-y Assume 'yes' on all questions, never ask for input

[a194-109-2-251:~] eveline%

So this means I can just take a .ace file, and type this:

unace e file.ace

That should do the trick.

If your filename has spaces in it or special characters, you can use the
tabkey to complete the filename, after typing a few letters. Or drag & drop
the file from the finder to terminal, that will automatically put the
correct path to the file in terminal.

Good luck!

Greetings,

Eveline.

Hej Eveline
thank you for your time and help!Much appriceated.
On the disc I have a film called Henry cd 1 cd 2 both in 48 segments if I
understood you correctly the command should be

unace e Henry 1.ace To with i get the reply "segmentation fault"log
out.


When I run MacPardeluxe on cd 2 it tells me that one file is corrupt but
can be fixed with the pin file witch it dose.
I now get this message when terminal opens:-Last login: Wed Oct 15

cd "/Volumes/maxtor 1Film/untitled folder222/1111";unace e "/Volumes/maxtor

1.ace";exit
UNACE v1.2 public version
Segmentation fault
logout
[Process completed]

So I suppose that this is a new ace file? or am I still doing something
wrong?
kind regards vernon

This looks very much like the unace command totally chokes on this ace
file. When a program exits with 'segmentation fault', it means that the
program has crashed.

That could very well mean that your file is in a new ace format.

This is why I never download WinACE files, but look for other files
instead. (rar, zip, tar.gz, etc.)

Eveline.
