- Extract2
- Ver 1.8 - 03/31/91
- An UnZIP/UnARC/UnLZH Utility
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 FreeLance Programming. All rights reserved.
-
-
- Extract2 (tm) is a utility designed for working with archive files. It
- provides list/text/extract capabilities transparently across .ARC, .ZIP, and
- .LZH files. The program will automatically detect the appropriate file type,
- and will search for all three extensions if the input file spec does not
- contain an extension. Run Extract2 with no parms for a display of the correct
- usage syntax.
-
-
- Compatibility:
-
- This program is currently compatible with archive files created by the
- following programs:
-
- - SEA's ARC, thru version 6.00 (excluding version 1)
- - Phil Katz's PKZIP, thru version 1.10
- - Yoshi's LHARC, thru version 1.13
-
-
- Limitations:
-
- - Will not handle the long obsolete version 1 .ARC files
- - Will not extract or test encrypted members of .ARC files
- - Will not process self-extracting .ARC or .LZH files (.ZIPs are ok)
- - "UnCrunching" has been thoroughly tested for the current "Crunch"
- algorithm. However, older versions of .ARC used a number of different
- algorithms, all labeled "Crunching". Although every effort has been made
- to assure that the handling of the older algorithm(s) is correct, I have
- been unable to actually test this code, as I have no .ARC files with
- members compressed using those algorithms.
-
-
- Should you discover any problems while using Extract2, I welcome hearing
- about them. Bug reports can be mailed to the address below, or you can leave
- a message (to "Sysop") on my BBS (phone # shown at the bottom of this file).
- When reporting bugs, a copy of the .ARC or .ZIP file you are trying to process
- should be included along with a complete report of the problems with trying
- to process it.
