- PAK can be dangerous in that if you want to run it outside
- the current directory you need to run a program called
- PAKINST to install it and tell it where it's CNF file is
- located. This install program is in the .PAK arc ( ie.
- PAK151.ARC or PAK16.ARC ) but it's use is documented in the
- back of the docs and many people miss it. PAK can do some
- very undesirable things if it is used outside it's home
- directory without being installed.. Make sure and run PAKINST
- and tell PAK where it's config file is before you use the set
- command with ZIPPER and start using it outside of the PAK.EXE
- directory..
-
- if you have never, never will, and never want to screw with
- PAK.EXE and never see or use PAK files do the following in
- your archiver directory pointed to by SPAT..
-
- copy PKUNPAK.EXE PAK.EXE
-
- copy your PK unpacker into a PAK.EXE file.. and change line
- one of your ZIPPER.CFG file from " e" to " -e". this will fool
- ZIPPER into thinking you have a valid PAK.EXE and if you do
- run into a real PAK file ZIPPER will note it as a bad .PAK,
- log it and move on..
