└───────────────────────────────────────┘
If you're like me, you have alot of disks and
subdirectories full of compressed files. Mine were all
in ZIP, PAK or ARC format until I happened upon a program
called LHarc, which, as you are surely aware has greater
compression. Well to make a long story short, I, as
well as a local sysop, (Al Wheeler, Barrington BBS),
had a need for a util to make converting all those
files fast and easy. I originally came out with 2
files called Pak2LZH and Zip2LZH, they did the job,
but had a couple of minor bugs and could've been done
better anyway. So I came up with Make_LZH, a single
program that handles 3 formats and doesn't have the
bugs found in the original.
Make_LZH is VERY easy to use, but requires/assumes a few
things:
-You have a hard disk C:
-Your Command.Com is in C:\
-You have Make_LZH, PAK, PKunZIP and LHarc in your path
-You're not letting your cat stroll across your keyboard
(Okay, so the last one is a personal problem)
Make_LZH Converts entire subdirectories at a time, then
deletes the original file ONLY after the .LZH has been
confirmed.
usage:
Make_LZH <dir>
if you don't specify a directory, the current one will
be used.
You will then see Make_LZH calling the respective archiving
programs until it finds no more ZIP/PAK/ARC files in the
working directory.
That's it!

I have tested this program every way I could think of,
but if you do find a bug, I can generally be reached at
the Barrington BBS (603) 335-5640. This program is
