Hi, I'm trying to get my parallel port working, I'm trying to unzip my drivers.
And I get stuck here!
john@LinuxCNC:~/Downloads/parportdrive$ pwd
/home/john/Downloads/parportdrive
john@LinuxCNC:~/Downloads/parportdrive$ ls
'[oxfordpcie] linux serial and parallel cards.zip'
john@LinuxCNC:~/Downloads/parportdrive$ unzip '[oxfordpcie] linux serial and parallel cards.zip'
bash: unzip: command not found
john@LinuxCNC:~/Downloads/parportdrive$
.
Can you see something I can't ? Or if I'm doing this wrong

1. I don't think you need a driver for the Oxford Semi parts
(its certainly not used by LinuxCNC)

2. To use a command line utility on a file name with embedded spaces
try:

unzip [ and the a tab and return

( The '[' is the first character of the file name and the tab expands that into the
file name with the needed escape characters for the spaces )

the unzip\zip package isn't installed

For debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unzip

The below is the output when it can't find the file.
rmurphy@thinkPad-t530:~$ unzip '[oxfordpcie] linux serial and parallel cards.zip'
unzip:  cannot find or open [oxfordpcie] linux serial and parallel cards.zip, [oxfordpcie] linux serial and parallel cards.zip.zip or [oxfordpcie] linux serial and parallel cards.zip.ZIP.

Oops, I didn't read the error carefully

But I still don't think the driver is needed for LinuxCNC

john@LinuxCNC:~/Downloads/parportdrive$ unzip \[oxfordpcie\]\ linux\ serial\ and\ parallel\ cards.zip
bash: unzip: command not found
Did'nt work . In the synaptic package manager there's zip-unzip to install, do I need one
to unzip, or dose Bash do that automatically?

In a terminal
