Compression of PicturePak CGM files
───────────────────────────────────
To conserve storage space, your PicturePak image files have been
compressed into one file from which you may extract all, or any
number of files you wish to use.
The file size of each CGM, uncompressed, averages 4,500 bytes.
The name of each image can be found in your PicturePak Image Guide.
To uncompress your files, and store them in your own directory:
1. Determine, or create, the directory where you wish your
PicturePak files to reside.
Example (for hard drive): at the C:\ prompt, type: MD C:\GRAPHICS
2. Note the compressed file name on the PicturePak disk label.
(Example: GEN32.EXE)
3. Insert the PicturePak disk in the appropriate floppy drive and
change to that drive letter.
Example: Type: A: (press Enter)
4. At the A:\ (or B:\) prompt, type the following items:
A. The compressed file name (NOTE: Do NOT include the file
extension) that you are retrieving files from. (You have noted it
from your PicturePak disk label in Step 2).
B. Press the Spacebar once.
C. The filename(s) that you wish to retrieve. Include the file
extension: .CGM
D. Press the Spacebar once.
E. The location (directory name) where the CGM file(s) will reside.
F. Press Enter.
