- PCUNZIP.COM Version 1.0
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Michael Mefford March 31, 1992 (Utilities)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Purpose: Provides a smaller, no-cost alternative to the shareware
- utility PKUNZIP.EXE for decompressing .ZIP files downloaded from PC MagNet
- and elsewhere.
-
- Format: pcunzip filename [\path] [/V] [/E] [/O] [/?]
-
- Remarks: Entered simply with a filename (adding the .ZIP extension
- is unnecessary), PCUNZIP uncompresses all files within a .ZIP file into
- the current directory. A path to an existing subdirectory can be supplied
- if it is desired to store the decompressed file(s) elsewhere. The optional
- /V (view) switch can be supplied to display a listing of the files
- contained in a given .ZIP filename. The /E (extract) switch, followed by
- the name of one of these contained files, will extract and decompress only
- the named file. By default, PCUNZIP issues a confirming prompt before
- overwriting a same-named file in the target subdirectory. This warning
- can be overridden by executing PCUNZIP with the /O switch.
-
- PCUNZIP and its /V and /E options support the use of the DOS * and
- ? wildcards. This enables viewing or extracting all or only the similarly
- named files for a C program, for example. Unlike the full PKUNZIP utility,
- however, PCUNZIP does not support the decompression of encrypted files.
-
- Updated versions of PCUNZIP will be made available for download to
- reflect any changes to the PKZIP program implemented in files on PC MagNet.
- PCUNZIP requires 5K of storage space and 100K of working memory while
- active.
