       XUNZIP 2.1: 

      -------------



- freeware by EPI and FOX/Taquart

- extracts files from ZIP, TAR, GZ,

  and TGZ archives



SYNOPSIS



xunzip archive [dest] [options]



DESCRIPTION:



xunzip will list or extract files

from an archive. Under SpartaDOS or

DOS XL arguments and options should

be given in the command line. Under

other DOSes, xunzip will prompt for

them. The default action (with no

options) is to extract all files from

the specified archive.

xunzip supports ZIP, TAR, GZ and TGZ

(TAR.GZ) archives.

xunzip supports subdirectories and

is quite portable between machines

(only 48K RAM required) and DOSes

(MEMLO limit $22E4).



OPTIONS:



-d prompt to swap source/dest disks

Useful if you use single disk

drive to extract files to

a different disk.



-i interactive (ask for each file)

Queries you about every file

found in the archive, so you can

choose to Extract this file (by

pressing E), extract All files

starting from this one, Skip

this file, change Dest path, or

Close the archive.



-s blank screen (faster)

Turns the screen off while I/O

and decompression.



-v view archive contents

Instead of extracting, displays

a list of all files in the

archive, with uncompressed sizes

in bytes.



Under SpartaDOS X you should run

via "X", i.e. "X XUNZIP", unless

you use "-v" or extract only small

files. Size of the input buffer

depends on the system variable MEMLO.



BUGS



The only supported compression

method is Deflate and there is no

checking of CRC ! File attributes,

multi-part or encrypted archives are

not supported. There is no text file

conversion. ZIP provides a way to

mark files as text, but this

mechanism is unreliable.
