-
- 3.A DECOMPRESSING A COMPLETE UC ARCHIVE.
- ========================================
-
- Command: UC ES archive-name
-
- Put the archive where you want the extracted files to be, and type
- the command UC ES archive-name, where 'archive-name' is the name of
- the archive (e.g. UC ES newstuff). All files in the archive will be
- extracted.
-
- UC ES works cautiously. It will never overwrite files, create
- directories etc., without first consulting you.
-
-
- 3.B COMPRESSING A COMPLETE DIRECTORY (TREE) INTO AN ARCHIVE.
- ============================================================
-
- Command: UC A archive-name
-
- All files in the current directory are compressed into an archive
- (e.g. 'UC A mydocs' creates mydocs.uc2). If the archive already
- exists, only new and changed files are (re)compressed.
-
- Command: UC AS archive-name
-
- The files in the current directory and ALL subdirectories are
- compressed into an archive (e.g. 'UC AS mydocs' creates
- mydocs.uc2). If the archive already exists, only new and changed
- files are (re)compressed.
-
-
- 3.C MAKING AN ARCHIVE DAMAGE PROTECTED.
- =======================================
-
- Command: UC P archive-name
-
- The archive will become damage protected and it will remain damage
- protected if you add files to it or delete files from it etc.. A
- damage protected archive can recover from most disk errors without
- losing ANY data. (The disadvantage of making archives damage
- protected is that the archives become a little bit larger).
-
-
- 3.D VERBOSE LIST OF THE ARCHIVE.
- ================================
-
- Command: UC VS archive-name
-
- All files in the archive will be listed. The contents of all its
- subdirectories will be listed as well.
-
-
- 3.Z SUMMARY.
- ============
-
- UC ES name EXTRACT all files from archive name.uc2
-
- UC A name COMPRESS all files in current directory into name.uc2
- UC AS name COMPRESS all files in current directory AND its
- SUBDIRECTORIES into name.uc2
-
- UC P name make name.uc2 DAMAGE PROTECTED
-
