- and/or path names, but may not contain wildcards.
-
- If the member name is omitted, all files are extracted.
-
- Wildcards may be used in the member name.
-
- The output file names are taken from the member names.
-
- The date and time of the output file(s) are set to the same
- date and time as the input library file, unless they are
- stored in the directory entry.

- LUE duplicates the A and E function of LU. The advantages
- of LUE are:
-
- - smaller, so a copy can be kept on the "system" disk
- - faster, mucho
- - handles paths and wildcards.
- - retains input file or member date/time
